Council tax rebate

My partner tends to sort out the bills etc with our house, but I've found out that he's been paying full council tax, I'm a student and therefore don't pay council tax, and so I think he's entitled to claim single occupancy. Does anyone know if we can claim back the excess hes paid, or is it just one of those 'should have checked sooner' things? Been looking on tinterweb and all I can find is rebates for banding.
Thanks

You will need a student certificate from your uni or college showing start and end dates of your course, and that its a full time course.
When you hand that in to the council, they should apply your student exemption from the date you became a student, until the day you stop being a student.
If it creates a credit (it should) you will be refunded, although that might take a few weeks.
Hope that helps
