Hi @dottydotty
How are you?
Great to hear you and your son are purchasing your house, hope all that goes well.
So you are asking if you will still be able to claim your CTE once you complete the purchase of the home?
I'm not certain of the answer to this, so I have tagged your post as unanswered in the event that someone comes along who knows the answer. Here are a couple of resources that may be useful for you though:- A benefits calculator, to work out what you can and can't get in your situation.
- This and this resource from Citizens Advice, both of which contain information about claiming CTE / CTR as a person of pension age.

Hi
In my own experience I got council tax reduction when I owned my own property
However every council sets its own criteria for council tax reduction so you need to contact them -
janer1967 Thankyou . I was told told that it should not make any difference to my council tax if i rent or own . . Will try to contact my council . Thanks again Stay Safe .
