These are discretionary payments available to working-age customers and are designed to help bridge the gap between your council tax support and the weekly amount of council tax payable for your home.  These payments are designed to help if you can show that you are suffering genuine financial hardship and cannot afford to meet the difference between your Council Tax charge and the amount of council tax support awarded.  

These are not permanent awards and funding for the scheme is limited.   

You can apply online or by ringing Cornwall Council.
