To whom it my Concern:
Complaint
I am writing this email about the re the below email and also the attached file. I have been on
incapacity/income support for many years now on the highest rate due to illness. In April
2013 council tax changed their rules and a 19.5% needed to be paid unless exempt from this
change. As you will be aware the DWP has been in the process of changing everyone that
was getting the old benefit incapacity benefit to the new benefit ESA, this should have all
been completed by now, but due to things going wrong there is still people on incapacity that
have not been moved over yet to the new Benefit ESA. I am one of these people, but once
they move me over, I will be in the support group of ESAs. I have called the DWP many
times and they cannot give me a timeline of the changeover. Under the new rules I would be
exempt from the 19.5% council tax, it is not my fault the DWP are not working fast enough
to move people over the new benefits. I would like to know the full policy for this and has
this been taken into account when working out the new policies. Surely if my benefits are still
under the old policy, I should still be exempt.
Regards
Simon Cordell
