Do you feel like something is missing?
I can't help but think the reason I don't have a partner or children is somewhat to do with my medical condition Hydrocephalus.

Why do you only get 1/4 off council tax if single?
The council tax is based on the property and two occupants living in it. So, if there is only one occupant, why are you not reduced by 50%. That is half of two people. They don't charge for extra occupants, so you could have a family of four living in a property and it's still based on the band and two adults.
