That is not correct information William. I am on Incapacity Benefit
as i took early ill health retirement from my job as a
Physiotherapist and I also have DLA. It is a means Tested form of
tax and the person will have to declare their savings and incom to
get assistance.

This is a means tested benefit. If your friend gets housing benefit
or income support they will get help with council tax. If not in
receipt of either as I'm not you pay the full amount. But if the
accommodation is fitted for disabled living you drop a band in the
calculation. My heating loss means I have specially loud door and
phone bells so I qualify for that.

Subject: [access-uk] A query about Council Tax on behalf of a friend
Hi list,
A friend asked if i would send a message to this list regarding a
query about their council tax.
They are Blind too and receive Incapacity Benefit and Disability
Living Allowance. Their local Council have not yet made a descision
about whether they are entitled to Council Tax benefit but the
Council have issued a bill for payment. They're unemployed at the
moment, so do people who are unemployed and on benefits generally
pay council tax?
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Take care
James, Lyn, Nash and Twinny
