Council tax reduction

Options
Hi, 
I'm  considering applying for council tax reduction.
I am currently receiving UC as I have just moved over from tax credits.
When I apply for council tax reduction will I need to inform them that I receive a monthly sum from a personal lifestyle policy. The policy was fully funded bt myself and is now paying out due to my ill health.
Thanks

    Yes, you will need to tell them. The form should ask for details of all your income, including UC.
