Dear Erik,

Thank you for your e-mail about claiming benefits and apologies for the delay in responding.

You can find information on how to claim Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, and find the application form available for download by clicking HERE.

You can use this one form for claiming Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit, free school meals and school clothing grants.

Entitlement to Benefit is worked out by looking at how much money you have coming in, your personal circumstances and the amount of rent you have to pay, and the amount of savings you have (more than £16,000 will normally disqualify you).

Should you wish to talk to someone about your entitlement please ring our Contact Centre on 0151 233 3009 or make an appointment for any of our One Stop Shops by ringing 0151 233 3016.

If you would like any further assistance on this matter or anything else please let me know via the e-mail address below.

Kind regards

Kerry

Hi Katrine,

that's very fine!

I forward a copy of this e-mail to the Council.

I hope I get a reply from them, tomorrow before the meeting at around 5 PM.

I'll update you as soon as I hear anything more from the Council.

Hope this is alright!

Best regards,

Hi,

I was thrown out of Azalea Lodge, in Sunderland, yesterday, after I'd complained earlier this week, about that some electricians there, had been in my room, when I was at the food-shop, earlier this week, without any warning.

I was at Sunderland Council yesterday, but they couldn't help me with new accomodation, since it was a Friday afternoon, (like they said).

I remebered that an earlier collegue of mine, had mention, at Arvato, here in Liverpool, that it was possible to live at the Scandinavian Church, in Liverpool, and I therefore decided to go here, since I had no other places to go.

I have an agreement to stay here, untill Monday.

But I have very litle founds, since I'm on Jobseekers Allowance, and had to pay for bus here to Liverpool.

Here at the Scandinavian Church, it costs £20 a day, for a room, I think it is.

How is it with Housing Allowance?

Is it possible to get that here or other places in Liverpool?

I think it's ok here, since there are other Scandinavians here, but I'm not sure how long I'm allowed to stay.

Can I have a meeting about accomodation on Monday please?

Since I don't know how long I can stay here, and how to pay for the accomomdation, untill I find myself a new job.

I've also e-mailed the Jobcentre, about that I've moved to Liverpool, so I've asked them if I can sign on, at Williamsson Sq. Jobcentre, on Thursday, instead of in Sunderland, (since it's a bit tricky for me to get to Sunderland now, since I have limited founding, unfortunately).

Hope this is alright!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog
