does anybody know if I would be entitled to local tax rebate? I receive disability allowance (full rate) have less then �16000 in the bank, but I own an apartment with my sister as joint tenants. She also looks after me as I am dependant on her. We are both over 65.
The fact that you own your apartment won't make a difference. My mum and dad get Council Tax benefit and they own a 4-bed detached house (both are pensioners, dad gets full rate DLA).
If you find the website for your local council, most have a calculator on there that you can use to find out if you are eligible or not.
Also you could read this which is on the Citizens Advice Bureau website.
