    Oh blimey, I'll warn them about that one then before they get into another state. After going round the houses it should say nil if they still get the guarantee pension credit, right?

    My father has significant difficulties too and really should claim but it's things like this that put him off, shame really :(

    It should show the council tax charge less any council tax reduction (CTR) - if it's been awarded in full for the year then it should show a nil balance (or a credit if they've paid anything). Guaranteed Pension Credit should result in an award full CTR.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    Wouldn't be easier if you nominated your address to receive the council HB letters and then relayed the result to your parents?

    My father is very independant and probably wouldn't be happy with that, something for the future maybe.

    Thank you both, no letter has arrived yet but I'm expecting it, will help 'translate' it for them :)
