Local Council Tax Support


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.

Your FAQ

Question: What is a disabled benefit and how will I know if I receive it?

Answer: Disabled benefits are usually paid by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), and are to help pay for any additional support that may be needed as a result of a disablement. The DWP will have notified you in writing if this benefit is being paid to you.
