Can I claim Council Tax Benefit?
There are two Benefits available for people who have to pay Council tax. These are Council Tax Benefit and Second Adult Rebate.
Council Tax Benefit
You cannot get both Council Tax Benefit and Second Adult Rebate at the same time. If you qualify for both, we will give you the one which will reduce your Council Tax the most.
You can claim Council Tax Benefit if:-
- you are on Income Support or Job Seekers Allowance or
- you are on a low income
You cannot get Council Tax Benefit if:-
- you, or your partner between you, have more than £16,000 in savings. A partner is someone you are married to, or someone you live with as if you are married to them.
Second Adult Rebate
You can claim Second Adult Rebate if there are other people living inyour home who are on a low income.
You cannot claim Second Adult Rebate if you are married or have a partner.
