The Disability Benefits Consortium needs some real life examples of Housing Benefit gobbling up WTC. This issue is currently being looked at by the the "Low Incomes Tax Reform Group". Its members include some senior Inland Revenue civil servants, tax experts and some organisations from the Disability Benefits Consortium.
We need to demonstrate how annoying the HB & CTB taper rules are, so if you have a client that demonstrates this please get in touch with me on mailto:benefit_check@afbp.org.
