Hi when I bought my house i phoned hb to cancel my claim but they told me it had already been canceled.The council must have informed them straight away.From the date of purchase I am no longer on hb or in receipt of council tax support.I am still in receipt of working tax credits and child tax credits as I work 21hrs a week.I feel as though I can now hold my head up high as I have now got off benefits and that is what my mom always wanted for me wanted

Hi thanks for you reply. It was a joint executors account,i couldn't have any money released to me without my brothers signature.There was no mortage on my my moms house.

Hi thanks for your reply,the people working for cab are a good bunch of people and did their best to advice me and give me help but the solicitor I was sent to in my opinion wasn't the one that I needed to represent me with what I am dealing with.They were a good solicitor but not what I needed

Hi a week before xmas 2012 my mom was diagnosed with cancer and within 12 weeks she had died,leading up to her death we had discussions and she told me she had left her house to be divided between myself,my brother and my sister. When we finally sold her house in December 2013 my share was £34,060,the money was put in an executors account,myself and my brother being executors. The money was never released to me by my brother as my mom had said in the family discussions that I had to do her and my dad proud (also deceased) and inprove my life and buy my house and get off benefits which I promised I would. At the time I was claiming housing benefit and council tax support and working 16 hours a week I never declared my inheritance as it was never released to me, August this year I bought my house for £34,030 from the council I would have bought it earlier but I had a serious problem with my roof(it was raining in my house ) it took the council a year to fix (cowboys) I have now received a letter telling me I have an interview under caution,it can be proven by bank statements that I have never had any money released to me but I now feel at a lose as I feel as though I am being accused of fraud by not declaring a change of circumstance but I didn't have one, worse still I feel as though I have let my mom down and I have relived my moms death all over again .Can anybody please give me some advice did go to cab,not much help. Paid a lawyer in London £245 turned out to be a [problem],just wanted more money,sacked them!! thanks kathy
