You can claim Council Tax Benefit if you are liable for Council Tax and your circumstances permit it.
You will not be able to claim Council Tax Benefit if you have savings over £16,000 unless you are aged 60+ AND receiving Guarantee Pension Credit.
To decide if we can pay you Council Tax Benefit we will look at:
- If you are liable for Council Tax
- The level of yours and your partners (if you have one) income
- The level of yours and your partners (if you have one) capital
- If you are a student
- If you have recently entered the country and have recourse to public funds
