Second adult rebate
You may get Second Adult Rebate if the person you share your
home with is:
- not your partner or civil partner
- aged 18 or over
- not paying you rent
- not paying Council Tax themselves
- on a low income
You may be able to get Second Adult Rebate even if you don't
receive Council Tax Benefit. If you're either:
- not entitled to Council Tax Benefit
- only entitled to benefit which would cover 25 per cent or less
of your Council Tax
The rules for claiming second adult rebate are different to main
council tax benefit because the income and capital of the claimant
is not taken into account. The income and capital of the second
adult(s) is counted.
