Over 65 council tax benefits

Pay less, benefit more

Photograph of an elderly man and two elderly ladiesIf you are one of 3,800 people over 65 who are losing out on council tax benefits, you could reduce the amount of money you have to pay each year.

If you’d like to apply for this benefit, all you have to do is fill out this short form and we’ll do the rest.

We will look at your circumstances – your monthly income and savings – and quickly reach a view about whether you are entitled to this benefit.

If so, we’ll simply re-issue your council tax bill and you’ll be paying less each month.
If not, we’ll write to you explaining why not. We don’t want you to lose out if you may be entitled. That’s why we’d really like you to fill in one of our Pay Less application forms. Don’t lose out. Fill in an application today.

You can also print off the Pay Less application form 14.96 KB PDF File and send via free post.
