local tx rebate

[disappointed]

does anybody know if I would be entitled to local tax rebate? I receive disability allowance (full rate) have less then �16000 in the bank, but I own an apartment with my sister as joint tenants. She also looks after me as I am dependant on her. We are both over 65.

What do you mean by 'local tax'?

Sorry - I should have said "council tax" disappointed

The fact that you own your apartment won't make a difference. My mum and dad get Council Tax benefit and they own a 4-bed detached house (both are pensioners, dad gets full rate DLA).

If you find the website for your local council, most have a calculator on there that you can use to find out if you are eligible or not.

Also you could read this which is on the Citizens Advice Bureau website.

CheekyChops and In A Pickle - thank you for your information.. I will certainly have a go at claiming - the council cannot do more then say NO.
