to my way of thinking it was relevant as accessing technology can oftenmean we 
have to have funds to pay the silly pirces we have to for the stuff.

  Is this list specifically technology related then? if so, do you know where 
we might post questions such as these as they do in fact relate to access - a 
person's ability to live an independent life. Our friend was very concerned and 
so i asked on here. Thank you all once again for your responses which I'll pass 
on to our friend.

  I'm sorry if i broke the rules of the list.

  Take care

    People, do you not think this has been exhausted yet?  It's not relevant to 
the list so can we please stop it now!

              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
