I need to understand the Council Tax Reduction Scheme offered by Hillingdon Council. Can you tell me the specific savings limits for both working-age and pension-age applicants, and how I would go about applying for this reduction?
Navigate to hillingdon.gov.uk. Click on 'Benefits'. Click on 'Council Tax Reduction Scheme' (ID 403) to expand the section if needed. Click on 'How to apply' (ID 408). Identify the savings limits for working-age applicants. Identify the savings limits for pension-age applicants. Determine the primary method for applying for the council tax reduction. Synthesize the gathered information to answer the task.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Applying for a reduction in your council tax' page. The agent states that working-age applicants must have savings of less than £6,000. The agent states that pension-age applicants must have savings of less than £16,000 (unless receiving pension credit). The agent states that the primary method to apply is via the 'Apply for a council tax reduction' link on the website. The agent mentions that supporting documents will be needed for the application.
