Off The Cut - CRT and evictions

[costalot]

I know of people who claim benefits and get the following PAID for :

Mooring fees

Licence

Insurance.

BSS

 

In effect, their major boating costs are paid for, for them.

That information may be of use to the boaters in the video. However I assume this will depend upon whether there are any local marinas with vacant residential moorings; or if the affected boaters are prepared to move to a location where there is an available mooring?

According to my other half who knows about such things anyone who's sole residence is a boat and who is eligible for housing benefit would be able to claim mooring fees and council tax support -100% or less depending on several things but not the BSC and Insurance. In regards to license she would need to check the legislation but thinks probably not. There's so many ifs and buts each individual would need to check with their local council to be certain what their entitlement would be.

 

I thought that the licence was one of the things that there is most consistent success in getting it paid.

 

I have certainly heard of multiple cases where it has been, though as said, I know the whole area is a minefield, depending on which particular authority you end up dealing with.
