Local Council Tax Support

To ensure that the eClaim adapts to your local council tax support scheme, there are dedicated

settings such that you can:

• Ask for proof of capital even where the person is ‘passported’ because your capital thresholds are below the standard £16,000 level

• Ask whether the person is within a ‘vulnerable’ group and therefore exempt from the normal working age rules e.g. in receipt of Personal Independence Payment/has a child under five

• Set different maximum periods for backdating

The eClaim also dynamically detects whether the person is of pension age using their date of birth

and pension equalisation rules. Therefore, ensuring that working age specific rules for LCTS are complied with.
