I guess its not a waste of time if it puts the claim into the long grass for all the hassle it now takes to claim.

They shouldn't require this as its a waste of time- there is no discount that the council can award as the single person discount doesn't apply.

Some councils (used?) to give an ex gratia discount equivaliant to the single person discount. Although, now the MoD pays an allowance, I suspect they have/are about to stopped it to pass the cost off onto the MoD and save money on their budget

The council can give the discount if they want to, many do, some choose not to.

Its good to see that the information is slowly getting around.

The difference between the council giving the discount, and the MOD giving the allowance is that it just numbers on the budget.

Probably not an issue if you dont have alot of claimaints in the area.
