Council Tax Benefit changes 2013
Council Tax Support will replace Council Tax Benefit, council tax discounts, exemptions and reductions in April 2013. Some pensioners will be protected but many working age people on benefits will be affected.
Council Tax Benefit (CTB) is a means-tested benefit available to help those on a low income with the cost of their council tax. Child Benefit is not counted as income when working out how much Council Tax Benefit you can get.
