Who can get Council Tax Support and how do I know if Im eligible?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

Council Tax Support may help people on a low income with some or all of their Council Tax, whether they are working or receiving benefits. Eligibility usually depends on your income, savings, household members, rent or housing situation, and whether you are of working age or State Pension age. Each council runs its own scheme, so the amount and rules can vary between areas. Check your local council’s website and use its online calculator or application form; the council will make the final decision based on your circumstances.
