A neccessay book...
This book is excellent for anyone who asesses or advises people about Housing and Council Tax Benefit. It is written in a very easy to understand style and I use it regulary to refer to whilst asessing claims or advising people in my job as as an Assessment Officer - this is the book we use as first reference!

A must have for anyone with a interest in Housing and Council Tax Benefit.

Makes my job so much easier!!
This book is great!! Some might say boring, but when you have so many Housing/Council Tax Benefit claims to assess, John makes life so much easier. I have been on one of his training courses too, and he really knows how to explain some complex areas in an easy to understand way.

Guide to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit 2002-03
This is a great book on the regulations on HB & CTB, it explains all the law on how we process claims and i recommend all Housing and Council Tax Benefit staff get their own copy as it will come in very good use at work.
