You can apply for a Council Tax Support hardship payment if you already receive Council Tax Support and are facing exceptional financial hardship.
To apply, you must:
- be registered as a Council Tax payer
- currently receive Council Tax Support
- be willing to make payments towards your Council Tax
- be actively taking steps to deal with your financial hardship, where possible
- have checked whether you are entitled to a Council Tax discount
We will refuse your application if you do not meet all the above criteria.
Please note: Any award will not cover the full amount of Council Tax you need to pay. You will still need to make payments towards your Council Tax bill.
We will use the information given in your Council Tax Support claim, and the information you provide in this form, to decide your award.
Before you apply, check whether you may be entitled to any other benefits. You can use one of the government’s benefits calculators to see if you can get more support and to make sure your income is maximised.
You can also see more information on cost‑of‑living support, including help with managing debts and bills, saving energy, getting food support, and other useful advice.
