Exceptions
There are some exceptions when we will not make a non-dependant deduction.
We do not make a deduction for non-dependants who live with you if you or your partner are:
- registered blind
- in receipt of Attendance Allowance
- in receipt of Constant Attendance Allowance
- in receipt of the care component of Disability Living Allowance (at any rate).
Or if the non-dependant:
- is under 18
- is under 25 and in receipt of Income Support of Job seekers Allowance (income-based)
- is receiving State Pension Credit (either guaranteed or savings credit or both)
- is receiving a Work Based Training Allowance
- is in prison or similar forms of detention
- has been in hospital for 52 weeks or more
- usually lives elsewhere (but you will need to tell us their permanent address, otherwise we may still make the deduction)
- is a full time student or student nurse (although a housing benefit deduction applies if the non-dependant works for 16 hours per week or more during the summer vacation).
In addition, there is no deduction from Council Tax Support if the non-dependant is:
- an apprentice
- severely mentally impaired
- a carer
