That does suprise me as over in Blackburn the department of works and pensions that pay the JSA automatically notify capita (who deal with housing benefit and council tax benefit) when someone's claim has stopped for whatever reason!! Then housing benefit dept automatically notify us as landlords that their claim for HB has been suspended (as they write out to the tenant to ask why their claim for benefit has stopped). We as landlords then also write out asking how they are going to pay their rent and if no response check the property is still lived in, then service notice etc....etc....
