Fife Councils Executive Committee are encouraging people to apply for Discretionary Housing Payments to help them with bedroom tax. The council will now be able to award 100% DHP assistance to all who apply. However, they reminded tenants that they will still need to make a claim for this support, it is not awarded automatically. bit.ly/1j6VZol Officers will try to simplify the process and work towards having the regulations amended so that there is no need to make a claim. It is hoped this will help to reduce the 40 percent of those affected who have not yet made a claim. Cllr. David Ross, Leader of the Council, said he was pleased that the Executive had unanimously taken the decison so we can now get the funding to the people who require it.
