I have enquiried about claiming some rebate on my council tax as i have been informed i may be entitled to a rebate, but they have said as part of the process they need to see a bank statement.

I would like to know what that is and if they can be trusted. With all the scams going on at the moment, i am a bit concerned about sharing my private details, and worried how they will be stored

    I think there should be a review on council tax or a review. personally any person who has a longterm disability should be disregarded or a discount applied  as it’s unfairly.and all councils should be altogether making the same decisions.As a disabled person VAT is Free and other….

    I`m sorry, but I disagree with the bit I`ve highlighted.  You use council services therefore you should have to pay for them.  Nobody, self included, likes Council Tax but it`s one of those necessary evils.
