£0 remaining for a Council Tax demand

This applicant, who has Downs syndrome, has had difficulty with her Council Tax reduction, as she was unable to return the relevant form to the council in time. She has now been issued a demand notice that needs paying upfront to prevent court action. This applicant does not have the necessary money available because of her low income and benefit problems. Paying this amount in time will prevent her facing court action and court costs, and becoming liable for a £980 Council Tax bill in one payment.
