When I claim JSA will I be able to get some council tax benefit even though I live with my Mum.She is a pensioner and the council tax is about £120.00 per month.
Thanks.

If your name is on the Council tax Bill you should be able to. If it is not then no.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
No you are not considered liable and so you won't be able to make a claim.
Your mum may be able to claim something called 2nd Adult Rebate if she is single. Google it and see if she would qualify! It would be based on your income and not hers.I currently manage a Housing Benefit service and have been working in Housing / council tax benefit (as was) since 2001.
