Hi
I know council tax rebates have been covered before on this forum but i wonder how many newcomers out there are still unaware that they can claim a rebate if they have someone with AD living with them.
I was given a form to fill in by our local carers group and when I sent it off with a claim for discount for my mother in law who has AD and myself as a carer, I received a telephone call from the rebate office asking if my husband was caring for mum as well, I told them that he worked and i was the full time carer but she asked if he cared for his mum when he got home or at night and i said, yes we do take turns, she said that he to was entitled to a refund as a carer and sent us another form to fill in. The person with AD does have to be receiving full Attendance Allowance but we are not waiting to see what kind of rebate will we receive.
I will let you all know once we know.
