I think if you are going to be expected to do any of the caring for your Dad, you really should have a say in the matter.It sounds so horribly unfair on you.Make sure you take time for yourself and your children.1

If your dad is the liable person, which sounds like the correct situation, then only he can can look at claiming council tax support, or the discretionary s13A(1)(c) relief. The council cannot just transfer the council tax liability to you, the law does not allow it.
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.2 -
Thank you. Could you please give me a link with more info for the s13A(1)c relief or more info as not heard of it before?

@Pollycat sadly the CC don’t look at the family as a whole they’re just focused on dad and the property and if we don’t like it it’s tough. Thanks for your support though xClara Sais - Vlogger and Mummy1
