What is the difference between council tax benefit and second adult rebate?
The main difference is that, for second adult rebate, we do not need to see proof of your income, only that of the other adult. We only need your name, date of birth and national insurance number.
We will, however, need to know the personal information and income details of the other adult.
What if you qualify for council tax benefit and second adult rebate?
