Can Citizens Advice help me check whether Im eligible for Council Tax Support?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

Yes, Citizens Advice can help you understand the Council Tax Support scheme in your area, check what information you may need and guide you through applying or challenging a decision. Eligibility and the amount available depend on your local council’s rules, your income, savings, household and circumstances; pension-age schemes may have different rules. Apply through your council’s official website, even if you receive Universal Credit, as Council Tax Support is separate. You can also use GOV.UK to find your council and contact Citizens Advice for independent guidance.
