Council tax need advice

Benefits, finances and funding
1

Hi,

I have only recently realised I can claim a discount for council tax. The council have sent forms but have requested the date my son was first awarded DLA.

I rang the DWP and they said as my son has been transferred to PIP the initial date of his DLA award had been archived and they are not able to give me these details. garageband review

I am quite annoyed as you see in the press how they are able to go back many years to prosecute people!

Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you

Was there an event that triggered your son’s need for DLA?

Was it paid into a bank account?

There may be a date in there somewhere, either in your head or with a little more research.

Can you clarify what the link is between Council Tax and the original date of claiming DLA?
What discount do you think you qualify for?
