You cannot receive both Council Tax Benefit and Second Adult Rebate at the same time. If you qualify for both, we will give you the one that will reduce your Council Tax the most. Our Benefit Team will be able to make the decision for you.
Who can claim?
If you are excluded from receiving a 25% single person discount on your Council Tax bill due to other adults living in your household, you can apply for Second Adult Rebate.
To be classed as Second Adult(s), the person(s) must be:
- aged 18 or over
- not liable to pay rent to you, and
- not jointly liable to pay Council Tax
How do I claim?
You can complete the on-line Benefit form or download and return a Benefit application form, enclosing evidence of the Second Adult’s income.
