Apologies if this has been covered before, I'm a newbie. I've just been awarded  standard living and enhanced mobility, via tribunal. I've heard you can claim a discount on council tax. Although I contribute to the council tax, my name is not on the council tax bill. Can I still claim a discount?

    Hello @huddo864

    Wishing you a warm welcome to the community, I hope you are keeping well in this heat. 

     

    This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask. 

    This page on the CAB website contains details about the situations in which you may be eligible for a discounted council tax bill, but the best thing to do would be to contact your local authority to query it :)

    There's no discount to claim if you're not named on the bill. Do you live at home with parents?

    No. I lodge at a friend's house.

    How are you finding lodging at a friend's house at the moment @huddo864?  :)
