Martin Lewis' word of warning to anyone paying council tax as 100,000s of people are 'missing out' on discount
Martin Lewis has issued a word of warning to anyone who is paying council tax on their home. The financial guru, who is the founder of MoneySavingExpert, has said that hundreds of thousands of people could be 'missing out' on getting a discount of up to 50 percent off their payments.
The video began with the money-saving expert explaining that the discount could mean your council tax is lowered substantially going forward, but you could also be due a backdated payout from when you were eligible that may be worth thousands of pounds. "If there are two or more qualifying adults in the house, then you pay the full council tax," Martin, 50, explained.
"This affects people with severe dementia, Alzheimer's, severe strokes. I've just got a £10,000 backdated success 'thank you' in from somebody who has multiple sclerosis, even people with severe Parkinson's, so a whole range of conditions," he said. Martin then added: "Up to 400,000 people are in the wrong council tax band, many of them in too high of a band, and you may be able to get your band lowered and a backdated payout."
