If a member of your household is 18 but you are still entitled to child benefit for them, you may be able to get 25% discount on your council tax bill.
Eligibility
You must be the only adult in your home other than the person who qualifies for child benefit. If there are other adults residing at the property, you may still be entitled to a discount depending on their circumstances. Please contact Local Taxes on 01738 477430 for more information.
This discount reduces your Council Tax, water and sewerage charges.
How to apply
In order to complete our online application, you will be required to supply:
- A copy of the Child Benefit Award/Notification letter confirming Child Benefit is still being paid, and the date this will stop being paid
Applications are now part of our wider 'Apply Once' application form where you can find out what other benefits, discounts and exemptions administered by the Council you're entitled to receive.
