Hardship funds
Exceptional Hardship Fund
The Exceptional Hardship Fund (EHF) provides extra help if you receive Local Council Tax Support (LCTS) to help with the shortfall between Council Tax liability and Local Council Tax Support. It is for a limited amount of time until you take active steps to seek other solutions.
Your financial and personal circumstances are taken into account, along with any steps that you are taking to improve the situation.
Council Tax Discretionary Reduction
If you don't qualify for LCTS but need more help to pay your Council Tax, the Council Tax Discretionary Reduction (CTDR) scheme may help you.
