Benefits Helpline - a Warning
The message you are about to read has been forwarded by Mansfield Citizens Advice Bureau and was originally written by Dr Mark Barber, Head of Social Research and Policy, RNID, London – Please read for your information:
There is growing concern about a company called Benefits Helpline http://www.benefitshelpline.com/ that is providing advice on all sorts of welfare benefits through a £1.50 per minute premium telephone service. Not only is this extortionate, but customers have reported being inundated with texts and emails urging them to use the service further.
Obviously it would be good to inform our clients that they can, if they so choose, use this service but that they will receive no more nor better information than they would through our own free-to-access expertise.
It's also worth noting that they come up prominently if you Google 'benefits advice', so the unwary may be caught easily.

Subscription Increases
At Conference there was a motion to increase subscription to £19.80p per year, in line with what the Annual AGM had agreed in April, however due to voting technicalities this was lost, therefore the increase will be in line with inflation and therefore a full year’s subscription is set at £16.08 per annum.
Those who contribute by way of payroll deduction this will mean an increase of 4p per month to £1.34p. Those members who pay annually by cheque or Direct Debit should have already received notification of the increase.
The widow’s contribution will remain unchanged
Further information can be found on Branch Circular 13/07 via this website.
Red Arrows banned from the Olympics
The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed 'too British'. Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might be 'offensive' to other countries taking part in the Games. The display team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team 'too militaristically British.' Red Arrows pilots were said to be 'outraged', as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display for the Games, something which had never been seen before. Being axed from a British-based event for being 'too British' is an insult - the Arrows are a symbol of Britain . The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the world. The Arrows performed a short fly-past in 2005 when the winning bid was announced, but their fly-past at the Games was to have been truly spectacular. It is to be hoped that common sense prevails. If you disagree with this decision, sign the petition on the link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/RedArrows2012/?ref=redArrows2012

PERSONAL ALLOWANCE FOR THOSE 65 AND OVER AND AGE RELATED ALLOWANCES
Firstly the Secretary must apologise, the figures that were circulated via the email were out of date and consequently new figures have been obtained.
What you must understand that these figures are generic, Income Tax is personal to the individual and in some case dependant on your age, marital status and income, so some of these figures may not apply.
However the following does apply to all, if your 65 birthdays fall within a Tax Year I.E 6th April to 5th April the following year you can claim the allowances for the whole of that Tax Year, In order to do so the HMRC must have your date of birth to automatically apply these allowances, if you complete a Self Assessment Form each year they should have your birth details and this is a requirement on the form. However if your Tax is deducted from your pension and you only receive the P60 from Pensions Department it is likely that HMRC do not have your Date of Birth and therefore the Allowance may not be implemented until the next Tax year. It is your responsibility to ensure HMRC have the necessary details.
If your Allowances are incorrect you can back claim for the preceding 6 Tax Years, but the reverse is also correct, if you have been under paying the HMRC can go back 6 Tax Years.
Personal Allowance for those aged 65-74 and 75 and over - 2008/09
Basic Rate £5435
Age 65-74 £9030*
Age 75 & over £9180*
Age Related Allowance for over 65 £21800*
*If your income is over the Income limit of £21800 then the Age Related Allowance is reduced by half until the Basic rate allowance is received.
For example if you’re 66 and have an income of £22300 - £500 over the limit your age related Allowance would be reduce by £250 to £8780.
HMRC are very approachable if you have a query contact your local office
