Benefits delayed due to strike action

The district council is concerned this is not the first time this year. It is urging claimants to consider having their money paid directly into a bank account.

The district council is warning those due to receive a cheque during the strike that their cheque will be delivered late. A BACs payment can be set up to allow the money to be transferred straight into the claimant's bank account.

To do this write a letter addressed to the council containing your name, address, reference number and bank details (sort code and account number). You can then post this after the strike or hand it in at council offices in Sleaford, the INFO-LINKS at North Hykeham and Metheringham, or the Community Access Points located in Billinghay, Heckington, Navenby, Branston and Osbournby. If you have any questions contact the benefits team at North Kesteven District Council, telephone 01529 414155.
