Need help in paying your Council Tax or Rent?

How much income can you have and still get benefit? Have a look at the chart below. Find the family make-up which matches yours and look for your Council Tax Band along the top. If your weekly income is less than that shown where the two meet you may be entitled to Council Tax benefit.

The following PDF document shows the family make-up and Council Tax Bands which can be used to see if you are entitled to Council Tax benefit.
