The law allows me to suspend your Housing Benefit payments in certain circumstances. I am writing
to tell you that I have suspended payments from 08/07/2013 because we have been informed you are
in prison.
Please confirm if you are on remand or have been sentenced. If you have been sentenced please
confirm the date you were sentenced. Please reply within one calendar month of the date of this letter
or we will cancel your benefit. Any delay may mean that you lose some benefit.
If you are awarded any benefit it will start from the Monday following the date, I receive the form. If
you want me to consider awarding you benefit back to the date you made your original claim, you
must tell me when you want the claim to start from, and the reasons why you failed to give me the
information I asked for with your previous application.
