Yes. You can claim council tax benefit if you work and receive a low income.

We will need to see proof of your earnings. You will need to provide:-

• Your last five payslips, if you are paid weekly
• Your last two payslips, if you are paid monthly
• If you have only recently started work and not yet been paid, ask your employer to provide an estimate of your gross earnings, tax and National Insurance deductions. We will use this information to calculate your council tax benefit until you receive actual details of your earnings.
