Eligibility: How Council Tax Support is worked out
What you get depends on:
- your circumstances - for example, your income, number of children, benefits and residency status
- your household income - this includes savings, pensions and your partner's income
- if your children live with you
- if other adults live with you
Support is restricted to the level of a Council Tax band D charge. If you live in a band G or H property, you are not eligible for Council Tax Support, unless you receive a qualifying disability benefit.
