      Council Tax Support/Reduction in Hastings 2019/20

      Requested Fri 01 March 2019
      Responded Fri 08 March 2019

      I am updating our records to take account of any changes to the council tax reduction/support scheme in Hastings from April 2019.

       

      Please could you provide me with details of your council tax reduction scheme (sometime know as council tax support) for working-age claimants for 2019/20.

       

      If you have made any changes from the scheme you operated in 2018/19, please identify those changes.

       

      If you have already published your 2019/20 council tax reduction/support scheme policy document, please provide a link/copy.
