No Work for 9 Months/Council Tax Rebate

Hi

I have been out of work for 9 months. I initially tried to create my own business but it didn't really work, and I've now had to sign on.

Could I get a council tax rebate for the entire 9 months? I'm currently paying 90 quid a month.

Thanks

    No Ct benefit can only be backdated a maximum of 6 months with a good reason for not applying such as medical grounds

    You can get CTR as soon as you apply for it. It's very unlikely it will be backdated.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
