JSA & Council Tax Reduction

While I was employed I already had 25%? off my Council tax because I am living on my own.
I am now applying for JSA. Would I expect to get any more off my council tax than the 25% ?
I notice the online application does not like it if I select Yes.
Thanks

Yes - each Local Authority runs its own scheme - about one fifth of councils give 100% benefits - most expect you to pay something towards your Council Tax if you are working age and unemployed. You will need to speak to you local council to see how generous they are with their localised scheme.These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.0
