Are the Council entitled?

[Totterdown]

I am claiming Council Tax Benefit. I can understand that the Council would want to see evidence of any savings I have and even the balance in my current bank account (for what its worth) I would have no problem with. They now want to see a detailed printout of all my transactions for the past few months in and out of my current bank account. Are they entitled to see how I spend every penny I get. I think this is an invasion of privacy.

Tell you what Totterdown, I think the Council are bang out of order here. It's pretty obvious to me that you've disclosed everything you need to do and they have enough info to make their decision. This now is just sheer bloody minded nosiness. It's a disgrace.

That what you want to hear?
