    Council tax reduction eligibility help

    Hi everyone

    I just wondered about eligibilty with Council Tax Reduction.

    My husband works full time, I am a full time carer for my 19 year old son, I receive Carers Allowance and my son has high rate disability living allowance.
    Now we still receive Child Tax Credits due to my son in non-advanced full time education but this stops in January just before his 20th birthday, also the child benefit will come to an end the same time too.

    I am confused on the write ups on this for Carers for the eligibility, so wondered if anyone can help and advise on this please? I did read something that they class a carer as invisible. But I take it they take into account my husbands income despite me being a full time carer?
    We have no savings, or in that saving criteria of £16K.

    I live in Wales if that makes any difference.

    Thank you in advance.....

    Sorry I can't help you Di...I don't know much (anything in fact!) about carer's allowance.
