Council tax benefit
If you are on a low income, this benefit can help with your Council Tax payments. You can claim Council Tax Benefit if your savings and capital are worth £16,000 or less, or if you are receiving guarantee Pension Credit.
How can I claim?
Contact your local authority (council) for a claim form. If you are claiming Income Support or Jobseeker's Allowance, your application pack will include a claim form for Council Tax Benefit.
Council Tax Disability Reduction Scheme
You can claim a reduction in your Council Tax if you are disabled, and have special needs at home.
How can I claim?
