I have recently been awarded PIP, both parts. Me and my partner are also on Universal Credit. We also get full council tax reduction. 
My question is..will receiving PIP and Universal Credit affect council tax reduction?

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    Each council their own eligibility criteria so hard to advise sorry

    I wouldn’t expect it to. Just inform your local council benefits team.

    Cheers, I kinda wouldn't have thought it would either, but hoping someone has had some experience with this as I can't be the only one!!!

    Every council can make their own rules for CTR for working age claimants so it’s difficult to provide definite advice
