Council Tax Reduction - earnings thresholds

Camellia

Has anyone had any experience of their Council Tax Reduction CTR being cut or reduced, on account of sporadic and limited ad hoc earnings (less than £1000 per year).

Nobody at my local council (including their so called benefits advisory service) is prepared to give me a rough idea as to what my situation could be (if I do go ahead with the work) or let me know the the council’s rules re: earnings thresholds at which one’s CTR will be either cut or reduced.

The LA wish to only calculate things, once I start doing the work - not before. Whilst I would like some rough calculation before, so that I can make an informed decision and not risk my CTR or be worse off because I tried to do a small amount of work.

Is there any way I as a member of the public can access my local council’s policies on such calculations and determinations, so I can attempt to work it out myself.
