Universal Credit and Council Tax Reduction

The DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) will normally send us information about your Universal Credit if you told them that you were also going to claim Council Tax Reduction.

We can usually use the notification from the DWP as a claim for Council Tax Reduction, but we'll need some further information before we can assess any entitlement. 

If you think you could be entitled to Council Tax Reduction, complete the form below and provide the evidence requested.

Apply for a Council Tax Reduction if you've claimed Universal Credit

If you are not claiming Universal Credit, or if you or your partner (if you have one) have reached state pension age, you can apply for a Council Tax Reduction.
