please help!!!! I am a 52-year-old mentally and physically disabled woman. I get enhance rate PIP for both elements. My husband receives carers for caring for me really well. We used to have 25% discount for paying council tax a month. We used to pay £115 every month now they would like £165 a month. I asked them why and they said it is because my son is over 18 now and can register to vote. This seems really unfair that they want this much money a month as you are aware unemployment support allowance I never had to pay council tax. My husband cares for his father as well but doesn't get paid for it so when he has to go and visit his father, my son cares for me. I have around 10 panic a day and I struggle to walk on son does but the three days off a week he has he will help care for me And that way my husband can get a little rest from time to time the council did award me a separate bedroom so we live in a three bedroom home? What help is there? Please can I say my son is a carer too and still get the 25% discount for council tax disregarded?
It just seems what little extra we get to help with my disability. They take it off other hand. I just feel like giving up it's hopeless.
