Responsibility for children
You are treated as responsible for a child or young person who normally lives with you. In the absence of a Child Benefit claim, the person who has primary responsibility is treated as responsible.
For the purposes of this scheme, only one person can be responsible for a child or young person in any one Council Tax reduction week.
