Can I claim a council tax reduction? I have a total pension of £1107 a month my husband is no longer working due to redundancy I am 67 my partner is 62. We don't claim
benefits as I was told I have to manage on my pension by the benefits "people".

Put your details into an online calculator.  As you are a 'mixed aged couple' with one over state pension age you would have to apply for Universal Credit.  Even if you are not eligible for Universal Credit the calculations at the end will tell you if you are eligible for council tax reduction.
You can use www.entitledto.co.uk

Council Tax Reduction is a local issue and not national. Www.entitledto.co.uk will give you an idea but that will depend on the accuracy of the information transcribed to E2 from the local council. 

Best to check the local council's website and check their requirements. Note it can change year to year.

If your husband was recently made redundant, has does not receive a pension and is looking for work, I would have thought he would be entitled to new-style JSA for six months.
