Second Adult Rebate

 
If you share your home with someone, not a partner, who is unable to help pay rent or Council tax, you may be able to claim second adult rebate.

The person who shares your home must be:

  • aged 18 or over
  • not paying you rent
  • not paying Council tax themselves
  • on a low income.
Although Second Adult Rebate is paid in respect of other adults in the property, the person responsible for paying the Council Tax must make the claim.

What if I'm already getting Council tax benefit?

If you already get full Council tax benefit, you will not need to claim second adult rebate.

If you are entitled to Council tax benefit and second adult rebate, you will get the one that gives you the most money.
