The Council Tax Benefit scheme is designed to help taxpayers on low or reduced incomes who may be struggling to pay their Council Tax bill. Please click on the following link for full details of the scheme.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Changes in the way your Housing or Council Tax Benefit is Assessed from 2nd November 2009

If you are getting Child Benefit the amount you get will be ignored in calculating how much benefit you are entitled to.

Also, if you are over sixty, any savings you have under £10,000 will be ignored.

Benefit entitlements will be recalculated automatically to take account of these changes for anyone that is receiving housing or council tax benefit on or after 2nd November 2009.
