What we are proposing
We propose to make no changes to our existing Council Tax Support scheme for the coming year however we are required to carry out a public consultation. Therefore, we would like your views on whether you think the current scheme is fair and if claimants with severe disabilities or in receipt of war pensions should continue to receive full Council Tax Support?
You Said
A public consultation ran from 12 November 2020 to 10 December 2020 and 61 respondents completed the questionnaire. 51 respondents (84%) thought the current Council Tax Support scheme was fair and 56 respondents (92%) agreed that claimants with severe disabilities or in receipt of war pensions should continue to receive additional financial support.
We Did
An unchanged Council Tax Support scheme for 2021/22 was approved and implemented from 1/4/2021.
