A family groupFamilies could benefit under new rules

Changes in the law from 2 November 2009 mean that more families could be entitled to council tax benefit.

Under the new rules child benefit will no longer be counted as income when calculating benefits.  This could mean that more families will be entitled to council tax benefit - even if they have claimed before and been unsuccessful.

Entitlement will automatically be reviewed and recalculated for those families already receiving council tax benefit.
