Second Adult Rebate

For more information, visit the Parkinson’s UK website (last updated July 2025).

This is aimed at single people who can’t claim the 25% Council Tax discount given to all people living alone because another adult (who is not their partner) lives at the same address. Not all councils offer this rebate and some restrict it to pensioners only.

To qualify, the other adult must be on a low income and not liable for the Council Tax bill.

There are different levels of help available depending on the benefits the second person receives or how much income they get. You can’t claim Second Adult Rebate at the same time as Council Tax Support.
