    Council Tax Reduction is decided on at a local level and each local authority has different rules for this meaning it's very hard to advise on individual cases from here.

    You could contact a local welfare rights organisation who will be familiar with the local rules, to check your bill is correct.

    Hi @KatieG, sorry to hear this has happened. Did they mention what the adjustment was for?

    As Kimi87 said above, it's well worth speaking to a local organisation to see if they can look into things for you as they'll know what the rules are like in your area. Hope you can get some clarity on the situation soon.
