Who can claim second adult rebate
The rules for claiming second adult rebate are different from
those for claiming main council tax benefit.
Second adult rebate is awarded when the claimant has a second adult
living in his or her home who is on income support, job seekers
allowance or on a low income.
The level of the claimant's income or capital is not taken into
account.
When will I not be able to claim second adult rebate?
- if you are not liable to pay Council Tax
- if you have a partner who is not disregarded for the purpose of
Council Tax (please click here for more
information on Council Tax disregards).
- if the second adults living with you have a commercial
liability to pay rent (ie they are your tenants or your joint
tenants).
