    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
