Housing benefit

[Terpe]

What I'm trying to find out Graham is, at the time I was receiving benefit did they pay me as a couple, in other words too much?

Strictly speaking Michael at some time you should have received a Housing Benefit letter showing the calculated assessment.
On that calculation under 'Applicable Amount' it would show either Single or Couple.

I'm guessing that your local council might be able to send it to you from the archive....maybe worth asking.
If you got paid too much it's most likely their error as I'm sure you informed them of the immigration status of Maritess. Still might need to pay back any overpayment though.

At the beginning they sent a representative to my home, he filled all the application forms in and I signed this was done in front of Maritess, also he took her Passport to photocopy at the office and posted it back to us within a couple of days. In the meantime Peter I will go through all the paperwork and double check!
