The payments of any entitlement will be issued on the dates given in the above table. If you have to make up any shortfall in your rent you must contact your Landlord to arrange this.
COUNCIL TAX SUPPORT
Any entitlement to Council Tax Support will be directly credited to your Council Tax Account. You will receive a bill to advise you of the balance and details of any instalments that you may need pay. Even if you receive help towards your Council Tax you will still have to pay some of the charge.
