If you are unable to pay your council tax and you receive Council Tax Reduction, you can apply for an Exceptional Hardship Payment. 

You will need to provide:

  • The most recent two months of statements for all bank/savings accounts you and other adults in the property hold. Please email them as pdf files or bring/send paper copies to our offices.
  • Proof of any debts and debt repayments you wish to be considered.
  • Relevant medical evidence to support your application if appropriate.

Important: Please be aware that your application may be refused if you have excess income or non-essential expenditure.

If you need help completing the form, please call 01884 255255 to book a phone appointment.

If you do not receive Council Tax Reduction you can still check if you are eligible.

If you are eligible for Council Tax Reduction please apply online.
