Hi
I wanted to ask if my brother was awarded LWRCA on universal credit as he suffers from severe learning difficulties. I would have to apply directly to council for Council Tax Support but would they award him 100% council tax support due his disability element and would there be any non dependent deductions. Any advice or help would be grateful.
