Eligible households must satisfy one of the following criteria for at least one day during April 2021: 

·         Households in receipt of Council Tax Reduction (CTR): OR

·         Exempt from Council Tax - all the occupants are under 18; all the occupants are care leavers; all the occupants are severely mentally impaired; the property is unoccupied because the resident has gone to someone else's home to provide care or the resident receives care elsewhere; OR
