Has anyone had any experience of paying Council Tax when the owner has gone into care?
Nobody lives in my mother's house, and I managed to get her Council Tax exemption as they class her as 'severely mentally impaired' - although it didn't stop the council trying several times to charge her!
Now they are insisting on knowing whether there is still furniture and belongings in the house.
Surely they can't start charging her Council Tax over a few old wardrobes, sofas and trinkets?
I'm currently waiting on Deputyship to get permission to sell her property to pay for her care, and I'm not even sure I'm legally allowed to be clearing her things without the Courts permission.
I've asked them to clarify but they take weeks to respond.
