Council tax query

Hello

Can anyone tell me: If I was living single with two kiddies, either paying a mortgage or living in a fully paid private home, and on full working tax/child tax credits, would I be entitled to council tax benefit?

Thanks
Alison

You will be entitled to single occupancy discount, ring council tax and they will send you a form to fill out. takes a few weeks but with a couple of hundred pound knocked off the bill helps

You can apply but I doubt you will get any about the single occupier - all I got was the 25% discount - apart from the tax credits had less than £6000 a year coming in but they count tax credits as income and say it was enough to pay the CT

The single person discount of 25% is not income assessed , its based solely on whether there is only 1 adult over 18 in the property who is not otherwise disregarded, being the only adult the OP is entitled to it.
