Service Description: Local Council Tax Support (LCTS) is the new scheme following the abolition of Council Tax Benefit on 31 March 2013. LCTS helps people on low income pay their Council Tax. If awarded, LCTS is deducted from your Council Tax liability, reducing your bill. To claim LCTS you must be the person liable to pay the council tax bill for a property.
Also known as:- Council Tax Benefit, Council Tax Rebate, Council Tax Support, CTS, LCTS
Answer: No, there will be no change to the support you currently receive provided you are a pensioner who has reached the qualifying age for State Pension Credit. The government has said there will be no change to the amount of help pensioners currently receive (those who are of an age where they can claim state pension credit).
