Help with Council Tax and Housing Benefit

You may qualify for exemption from Council Tax for up to a year if:

  1. You have to move out of your home for an extended period for repairs because of flooding.
  2. The property is left unoccupied and unfurnished.
  3. You have a sole or main residence somewhere else.
  4. The damaged property is no longer deemed to be your home.

Contact us and we will support you through any changes to your Council Tax, Housing Benefit or Universal Credit.

Email counciltax@dumgal.gov.uk or call 030 33 33 3005 and give your full name, names of all other adults affected, address of the property and address you are living in.
