Make a claim for Council Tax Support
Use our online form to claim Council Tax Support, or to report any changes that might affect your existing claim.

- property council tax reference number
- National Insurance number
- date of birth
- contact phone and/or email
- if you're receiving Universal Credit or Pension Credit you do not need to provide details of your income
- if you're not receiving Universal Credit or Pension Credit you'll need details of your income, and will be asked to provide copies of a recent bank statement and proof of your income
- details of anyone else living with you, their names, and dates of birth. You'll need income details for any adults
If you can, upload photos or screen shots of the required information as part of your online application.
