Council tax + Backpay

steveowen100

My partner is currently out of work due to illhealth, she is currently receiving diability living allowance and incapacity benefit, im a part time student. My question is are we elligible to council tax benefit and if so would they back date? as she had not worked for two years, also as a part time student should i be paying council tax?

any help would be appreciated

regards steve

As a p/T student you are not disregarded for Council Tax - you need to be F/T.

CTB can usually be only backdated 52 weeks maximum . Try putting in your claim anything you get is a bonus.
