Council Tax Benefit
If you are liable to pay Council Tax, you may be
entitled to receive Council Tax Benefit.
If you pay Rent, you may be entitled to receive Local Housing
Allowance (Housing Benefit)
Your entitlement to benefit will be calculated based on the
following factors:
- your capital, including any savings
- your income
- the amount of Council Tax, (or Rent), you pay
- your family circumstances
Even if your income is high, if you share a house with other
adults (except for a partner) who have low incomes, you may be able
to claim Council Tax Second Adult Rebate.
Many people lose benefit because they delay making a claim
therefore it is important that you claim as soon as possible.
More information about Council Tax and Local Housing Allowance
(Housing Benefit), including details of how to claim, can be found
on our benefit
pages.
