Council Tax query

Options
I know this is probably a bit cheeky but I have to ask... :D

My husband has just started working as a self employed HGV subbie and now is only home one or two nights a week. Is there any way that this makes us eligible for single person council tax reduction as I am the only person here for most of the week and he is home 7 nights a month if we are lucky?

Just wondered as every bit of money saved helps,

Thanks

Heather

    no, it doesnt mean you can claim single persons ct allowance, sorry.
    It is still classed as his main home.

    There have been lots of threads discussing this and that is the general consensus.

    Thanks,

    I thought that would be the case as he doesnt have a second home. I did do a search for posts on this but didnt turn any up so thought I would ask anyway.

    Thanks again

    Thank you! I'm really starting to enjoy it here and may even soon be brave enough to post on the DFW boards and really get myself sorted out! :rotfl:
