From personal dealings with council, they did take it into account but it wasn’t a problem because of the amount of monies coming in, there are some wunderful people who know what they are on about, lol, I was living with family but now I’m alone with my Dementia and I don’t pay council tax anymore. That’s the only goodish thing about Dementia lol.
