Speaking of incapacity benefit, isn't that stopping next year, what happens
after?

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.

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
