UK: Are U exempt from Council tax if parent at home receives Attendance Alowance?


My Mum recieves AA. She part own her home. Are her children entitled to full Council tax rebate whether they are employed or otherwise?

Forgeot to add, IF THE GROWN CHILDREN live at the same address as the mother?

Why should her children be exempt??

It's the parent who has AA - The children have nothing to do with it

Hi
I have worked for benefits for 10 years, is the parent claiming council tax benefit, if not she will need to, you do not get an exemption as there are other adults in the property who are not disabled.
Normally with council tax benefits there is a deduction made based on the other adults in the property and what their income is, however since this person is claiming attendance allowance there will be no deductions made from benefits as they would be classed as caring for her, ahe may not get full benefit depending on any other income she has such as pensions, but she should qualify for some help.
This would only apply if she is liable to pay council tax and if she is in joint ownership, only for the % she is liable for

it is possible that yr mother will qualify for a 25% council tax rebate depending on the illness that qualifies her for AA, if one of the children is her f/t carer that qualifies for another 25% rebate making total of 50% as long as there are no other over 18s in the house that are not f/t students. thats what we were told when we claimed as i was my mums carer and i lived there with my 19 year old daughter (f/t student) and 3 under 18 children. we qualified for 50% rebate.

no AA is a non taxable amount

why would her children be entitled to a tax rebate? your mother gets AA as shes over 60 and is disabled or terminally ill
if the children are on a low income make that noted on the tax form
