    HI and welcome,

    Claiming council tax reduction will depend on your circumstances such as household income and who you live with. As all local councils have their own criteria then i won't be able to advise you on this and you'll need to apply with your local council.
    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.
