RE: basic HB challenge question

I agree with Jeff's comments.
However, if the claimant is 60+ years old, backdating may not be an issue as currently, providing they can confirm their income, capital and circumstances for the previous 12 months, HB and CTB should be backdated 12 months automatically.
Come October, this will change and it will be a maximum of three months automatic backdate.
Regards
John
