I've found it easier to not bother claiming.

Not wise on a tight budget?

Would your bank give you a small overdraft?

Couple of suggestions:

Do you have a local Credit Union that could offer a loan at a reasonable interest rate?

Full council tax - are you living on your own?

If so, are you claiming the single person's reduction which will give you 25% off your council tax.

Also - bit late for this year, but for the next tax year ask to be allowed to pay the council tax in 12 instalments instead of over 10 months if you don't already do so.
