EXCELLENT GENERAL NOTES FOR ADVISERS ON CURRENT HOUSING BENEFIT AND COUNCIL TAX REDUCTION STATUTES
An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor MA of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, Reviews Editor, “The Barrister”, and Mediator
Welcome to the 35th edition of this well-established annual title from the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) at a time of great difficulty for so many families. This remains an essential handbook which contains all the relevant primary and secondary legislation governing housing benefit and the council tax reduction schemes in England, Wales, and Scotland. The aim of CPAG is to work on behalf of the more than one in four children in the UK growing up in poverty, and we thank CPAG for their continuing work providing training, advice, and information to make sure hard-up families get the financial support they need.
The reason that this book exists is because, as CPAG says, “it does not have to be like this.” CPAG uses what it understands to cause poverty, and the impact it has on our children’s lives to campaign for policies that will prevent and solve poverty… “for good.” CPAG also conduct high-profile legal work to establish and protect families’ rights.
As to be expected with all CPAG titles, users will find expert commentary on the rules, the latest caselaw, official guidance and advice on administrative and practical issues. The work remains “an essential resource for anyone dealing with housing benefit enquiries, especially those preparing and presenting appeals, as well as lawyers, local authority staff and housing organisations” and fundamental for your advisor’s bookshelf. It is a book which we often see in court buildings.
This volume has gathered together all the relevant statutory material with an expert commentary for the adviser. These are sometimes called “general notes” and offer an analysis and valuable interpretation of the legislative provisions. Of significant use to both lawyers and advisers are the latest case law references throughout, plus official guidance notes.
We find the coverage of administrative issues and the assistance with both practice and process of great assistance to the bewildered user. As is the house style with CPAG, all the information stated in the work (some 2,000 pages) is fully indexed and cross-referenced.
It is a book which has long been a standard text with the original commentary from Lorna Findlay, now undated by a team of specialists, led by Richard Poynter, Carolyn George, Stewart Wright, Martin Williams, Susan Mitchell, and Jon Shaw. To illustrate its formidable reputation, it is used in all housing benefit cases coming before the First-tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber) and includes an updating supplement which will be published in the summer of 2023.
The 35th edition offers us the most recent transitional moves concerning universal credit. We also receive practical commentary on recent decisions of the courts and the Upper Tribunal. Of additional interest is the inclusion of the new working-age council tax reduction regulations for Scotland to make our lives as advisers much easier when fathoming the intricacies of the benefits system in 2023. Thank you CPAG.
The date of publication of this CPAG paperback 35th edition to cover 2022 and 2023 is cited as 12th December 2022. A supplement is due in the middle of 2023.
Do a story in why immigrants are given welcome packs about everything they are entitled to from benefits and yet whites are not given the same and are not told about all benefits they can claim and miss out I know a few people who have left the job because of the same reason
Maybe it's because they're fleeing war-torn countries we "helped" by bombing, corrupting, and decimating? I agree insomuch that it isn't clear what benefits people are entitled to, which is why there are services to help the less educated, such as citizens advice, the job centre, et al. That being said; you come across as a very racist tory.
@@mradamdavies and when has France been war torn fan of Muslims
@@mradamdavies 2 people i know worked for the social fraud squad who weren't allowed to pursue non whites as it was deemed racist while they were ripping benefits off
@@billyward349 When was England a good place to live?
@@mradamdavies until the mass immigration started then it became third world to make the ghetto makers feel at home
I know someone who works in a benefit office and everyone there is a change they suspend the benefit and the the stupid bedroom tax admin is mind boggling. Every penny grudgingly given and taken back at any excuse unlike the elite who practice every tax evasion schemes.
Civil servants!!!
They are keeping people on benefits sweet for now but big changes are afoot. No more cars and holidays , no cash with restricted spending. I guess you could say no more drugs only essentials! FOOD
I don't do Acts and Statutes
Oh lord, a "freeman" huh? Let me guess, you studied law by watching 2 or 3 TH-cam videos?
@@mradamdavies freeman chestnut, acts and statutes are contracts, when did you sign a contract with the council or any other body.
Thank you so much Phillip for this amazing video on the topic. Have a Happy New Year!
Thanks. Happy New Year!
As someone who needs help , please stop reading 2000 page books and help people before we take matters into our own hands 🤡🌎🃏
Thank you...and a very Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thank you. Happy New Year

Thanks
Get a small ⛵ across the globe and get riches while the whitelist gets longer!!!
A willingness to work genraly solves poverty ,
Not relying on the state
Yep. The UK has grown to rely on the benefit system. Brexit was a shock as the lowest paid workers were forced to return home, leaving lazy Brits to fill the gaps. Instead they're sitting at home moaning about how bad things are.
They shut the industries down, we can't all work in macdonalds, get a grip.
Bollocks I and my wife work full time she works hard I. Financial assistance of housing trust, I'm a full time carer and money is crap and we work hard we scrape by
I think somebody is trolling us.
I'd bet most of us on here (including myself) come from a hard working household, probably doing 10+ hours a week overtime just to exist.
The government, civil servants, and big business seem to profit by millions personally at every decision which our unelected government make, yet the very people who are paying for it all get thrown a few breadcrumbs.
Everything has risen in cost, tax has shot up, all to pay for our unlimited funds given to Ukraine, even though his wife can happily go shopping in Paris and spend £40,000 in a single shopping trip, energy companies are making 4 times the profit they were 2 years ago and able to pay their mega rich board members massive bonuses.
We seem unable to stop being invaded by economic illegal immigrants, putting them up in 5 star hotels and giving them thousands each in hand outs.
Everyone is on strike because the basic necessities are failing, NHS etc, yet they keep employing more foreigners in none jobs like diversity managers and pay them stupidly high wages, yet the very people who are saving lives can not get a pay rise to keep up with the huge inflation rise.
The only way to change things and make life better for the normal hard working taxpayer, is to get these mega rich, career politicians, out of their unelected positions, and stop voting for the big four because they are all the same, and nothing will change no matter which of them is in power.
We need a government who wants REFORM, to get rid of this outdated political system all together, stop the mega rich, self serving muppets constantly dipping their noses in the trough, and take back control of things from this global wef elite puppet nonesense, so that we have our country back.
@jesusjones3197 You're trying to appear clever, but completely missed my reference.
Wooooosh.
Reform UK is the only party people should consider now.
The government don't reform all the time, they just get rid of unpopular decision makers, and replace them with yet more of the same career politicians, who are just as out of touch with normality and real life, as the ones before them.
Lets not forget the muppets in power now were not even elected.
We don't need any more mega rich elitists thank you, because they will continue to reward other mega rich WEF supporting elitists while throwing a few breadcrumbs to the taxpayer.
We need a completely new system of government, get rid of the hangers on, and make the country a much fairer place.
Insane the number of regulations....
Yes
Listening to this guy only goes to re enforce my belief that we have created a truly awful world. He finally says it doesn’t have to be this complicated but it is whilst representing the very profession that created this shit show.
Is there any application to N. Ireland.
Different jurisdictions
@@PhillipBTaylor We are still waiting for winter payments. The fault of the Tory party.
Not necessarily
What about civil servants
@@PhillipBTaylor The people suffer so that the PM can play games with the local parties.
Unum sanctum
Zzzzzzzzz
Who reads that crap
Plenty of people you creep
