I posted here a few weeks ago after I migrated to UC from ESA, and shockingly received a council tax bill. People have told me to write to my MP, fat lot of good that'll do. Can someone here please write an article and bring more attention to this? I am now several hundred pounds a year worse off. And there is a petition to get help with council tax here, we need to spread this everywhere: www.change.org/p/urge-parliament-to-rein...-on-universal-credit

Hi Anon,

Post approved. The Council Tax bill is down to the discretion of your own local authority. I myself pay C/Tax monthly, despite being on LCW and standard rate PIP. I think this may be one that is worth taking to Martin Lewis, and mentioning on the MSE website, to see if there's anything he can do to help - but things only seem to be deteriorating under this government. I read lots of posts about people being worried, feeling suicidal etc etc, and I myself worry - yet Labour can find billions to send to help Ukraine, so there seems to be something that's not right somewhere. :/
