Council tax benefit could help pay towards some or all of your council tax bill if you are on a low income, even if you own your own home.
We will work out if you qualify for help, taking account of your individual circumstances. This will include your age and whether you live alone. If you or your partner have capital, savings and investments worth more than £16,000 then you are not entitled to receive benefits unless you are in receipt of Pension Guarantee Credit.
You should apply straight away, as council tax benefit is available now.
If you claim Pension Credit, Income Support or Jobseeker's allowance you will also get a form to claim council tax benefit with your application.
