Council Tax Exemption???

newcook

tbh I dont think you will - I earn £16500 my (now ex) OH is on IB and we were not entitled to any help - however, this may have been because we have no children between us.
all bills are paid by me including bus fare to get me to work! every penny has been stretched to the max - learn to love supermarket budget brand!!

You can get CTE for various things, but they are the main two if someone actually lives in the property.

I think the OP was referring to Council Tax Benefit x

Newcook,

You post really touches me as I am in the same boat as you. I earn less than you and have just had to drop hours as I don't believe my husband to be safe left for long periods of time.

My husband gets IB and DLA and we have mortgage to pay all bills and even pay for prescriptions even though he takes 5 different drugs a day to keep him alive. On a lot less than the OP.

But no help.

Nah I prefer reduced to clear get nicer things for lot less like 10p :rotfl:

Yours


Calley

We earn £24000 and don't get help apart from ctc, you will not get wtc or help with your council tax. I would try the dla which is what i get.
