Claim Portal now open for all areas

It looks like if you try to claim and don’t pay council tax you might well be doing so soon!! Also can’t claim if you are CC. 
 

Those not on a full residential marina mooring might like to weigh up the pros and cons….which is what I’m doing.

The NBTA sought a clarification on the eligibility for the claim; and it was a success! They received a definitive response. If you go through the form, you will eventually reach this:

That is interesting. Presumably this means people who live on moorings without pp are not eligible. 

 

 

 

They never were - as far as 'boaters' are concerned it only allows for 'House boats or boats on residential moorings' basically, it look as if unless you pay council tax you don't get it.

 

Many pages ago it was suggested that if you tried to claim you may end up being registerd for CT - is it worth the risk of getting £400 and it costing you £1000 a year ?

i pay £1000 a year council tax for my little boat already. Maybe I ought to get the beer money. Don't need it for heating as boat is so small it don't cost much to keep it warm. 

 

Interesting that cc boats have been added. I wonder if there is a filter of some sort related to where the post goes. Double claim territory here. This will all have been said already on the thread. cba to read it.

So despite the Baton Twirlers claim of success, neither boats with a non-residential mooring, or CCers can get the grant :

Or even asked to leave marina as it probably won’t have planning permission for a lot of residential moorings
