    Unfortunately Bournemouth seems to be one of those councils which do not put the rates on their website:(

    Here is an example from another council

    http://www.hackney.gov.uk/f-non-dependant-deductions.htm#.UmPqLnRwa1s

    As far as I am aware the disregard for under 18year olds and the claimant receiving DLA are nationwide.

    There is one set of rules nationwide. For Council Tax Support each Council makes up their own rules.
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.

    I don't think the OP specified that the girlfriend was under 18. Assuming she's over 18 there will be a reduction in housing benefit

    even if the girlfriend ( of the son( was over 18 there would be no deduction as the tenant receives DLA
