The main change to the Council Tax Reduction scheme is that working age households previously receiving up to 100% reduction on their Council Tax bill may now have to pay at least 25% themselves.

This includes people claiming the following benefits:

  • Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Employment and Support Allowance
  • Income Support
  • Universal Credit

If you are affected by these changes, your council tax bill will explain exactly how much you have to pay.

The following groups will not be affected by these changes:

  • pensioners
  • families with a disabled adult or child in receipt of disability benefits
