Not sure if anyone else watched Martin Lewis Last night (money programmer)
For those that didn't may I suggest you have a catch up!
Yet another benefit that is not being claimed by 100s if not 1000s (because your Council doesn't inform you)!! you have to hunt for it!
Briefly if you have a "Mentally ill person in your household who is entitled to certain benefits there is a "chance" that you may qualify for a reduction in your council tax!
Martin Lewis mentioned Dementia/Alzheimers and I'm sure Parkinsons.
Just google "SMI" reductions/council etc it should come up.
I googled my local council and it came up with a list which if your have any of the medical conditions you can and may be entitled to some reduction.
I know there are many Gransnetters who have dhs/partners etc who may not know about this, others may! I really don't know//but it may be worth a google, good luck
