Council Tax scheme provides welcome support for many East Hampshire households East Hampshire councillors have approved the generous Council Tax Support Scheme which will continue to help hundreds of low-income households across the district.
The ehdc Big-hearted Council Tax Support Scheme is designed to assist some of the district’s poorest households. The scheme is a benefit to help with council tax payments and is available to residents in the UK. It is a means-tested benefit, meaning that income and savings are considered when determining eligibility. The amount of support available will depend on the applicant’s personal circumstances and income level.
To apply for the scheme, individuals should use the benefits calculator provided by the council to see if they are entitled to any benefits. If eligible, they can apply for council tax support by completing an online form. It is important to apply promptly, as payments cannot be backdated. The scheme also offers other discounts that may be claimed alongside council tax support.
For further assistance or questions, individuals can contact the council’s benefits team via email at benefits@easthants.gov.uk.
