Council Tax discount for persons for whom child benefit is payable

Anyone who you receive child benefit for is disregarded for Council Tax discount purposes.

The majority people covered by this are under 19, and normally attending a qualifying course of education.

We need evidence which can be either the Child Benefit book, or a letter from the DWP Child Benefit department.

To apply for or cancel a discount or exemption please contact us.

You will need to provide:

• your council tax reference
• your full names
• your address
• the discount you wish to apply for, for example single person discount
• the date you wish to claim the discount from or the date the change in your circumstance is taking place
• a contact telephone number
