If you are receiving child benefit for a child aged 18 and 19, they will be disregarded from paying Council Tax. This may mean that you will be entitled to a discount on your Council Tax bill, but it will depend on the number of people who live at your property who are aged 18 and over, and their status.
Supporting documents
