Council tax benefit

depends on your income, family circumstances and the amount of
council tax you have to pay. As a general rule the lower your
family income and the higher your council tax is, the more likely
you will be to qualify for some help.
You can check if you are eligible
for council tax benefit online with the benefits
calculator.This will give you an instant on-line benefits
