HB letter query was created by Margaret
Hello

My brother and his partner have just received a letter from the council stating that someone is coming to their house to review their housing and tax allowance and that they should have their bank statements available. I have never heard of this type of review and I feel suspicious about whoever is conducting the review wanting to see their bank statements. Both my brother and his partner are deaf and have not had a change in benefits or circumstances. Has anyone else had this type of letter?

I apologise if this type of question is not for this forum.

Thanks

Hi Margaret

HB checks are routine and randomly selected. They are just checks to make sure claimants are actually living at the address and nothing to worry about.

Derek is absolutely correct there is nothing sinister whatsoever in this they have been picked at random from their local councils listings. The people that do this job are often very pleasant. Take it from me.
