Due to printing problems and
Post Office procedural changes, posting of the Information Packs to our
membership is being delayed this year. However, all members should
receive their copies before the end of November.
Please note, the personal
allowances for children in Income Support,
JSA (IB) and Housing Benefit have increased since October,
but the Information Packs were written prior to the changes and do not
reflect these changes. Please amend these accordingly when
receiving packs:
- child from first Monday in the Sept following
the 16th birthday: £37.80
- child from birth to first Monday in the Sept
following the 16th birthday: £37.00
