To Whom It May Concern:
RE: Council Tax 55508596

I am writing this letter due to you saying I owe council tax for 2013/2014 and
2014/2015.

I believe this is due to the new changes that came into force on April 2013.

I believe a mistake has been made and I do not feel I come under the team for the
19.5% council tax that came into force in April 2013.
The reason I believe this is due to I feel I am exempted from this payment the
reason why is I am on support rate of sickness benefit and have been for many
years due to ill health.

I feel the issue has not been seen by the council due to the reason I will write below.

• I am still on the old payment method I get Incapacity Benefit but due to not
paying enough contributions I get income support, this was a life time award.

• When the new DWP system came into force, which is now called ESA. The
problem I have is under the new ESA system I will be classed as in the
support group for my illnesses.

• There are still many people that are on the old system of Incapacity Benefit
but due to not paying enough contributions get income support, And the
DWP changing the deadline for moving everyone over to the new system has
meant these people are not getting the right council tax award.

• These people have not yet been moved over to the new system and this is at
no fault of their own, this is down to how long the DWP are taking to move
every one of the old systems onto the new one.

• I would ask you to look into this issue and address it and until then any action
that has been taken against me be put on hold until this matter is addressed.
As I have had a letter from Equita saying I owe a lot of money which I would
never be able to afford to pay and that they are coming to my home, this is
making my heath worse.
