    Hi Kim

    Phew ....Im so happy for you and happy I was right 😂.

    Enjoy and treat yourself it's money you're entitled to.

    Just to clarify 're savings the back pay you receive will not be regarded as capital by the dept as it should've been paid over time and wasn't.

    There should be a paragraph in the letter you receive- which you need to keep as proof of asked in the future.

    Anyway that's nothing to worry about..

    Celebrate and enjoy yourself.

    All the best

      Hi Kim

      I'm not an expert on housing and council tax benefit as local authorities vary in how much you can have in savings depending on your council a bit like how much the full council tax differs.

      Your letters from HB/CB should let you know how much it is where you live.

      If this payment takes you over that amount you should let them know about this back dated payment and send a copy of the letter as it will be disregarded in full.

      It's best to do that as banks etc share info with the local authorities.

      Take care
