Hi, I was told that I should be claiming a discount on my council tax, and I should have been doing that for many years. I have this week received Couple 35% Cts for my council tax. but I am just wondering if I could backdate this for the years that I did not know I was entitled to it

    Each council has different criteria but most seem to only backdate council tax support for 3 months maximum.
