    No, PIP doesn't automatically entitle you to this. Whether you're entitled to council tax reduction will depend on your circumstances. If you don't already claim council tax reduction you can apply for it through your local Authority. https://www.gov.uk/apply-council-tax-reduction

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
