Council Tax Discount

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone is able to help...

Soon I will be living with my long-term girlfriend and we are expecting a baby at the end of April. She will be a stay at home Mum and is not entitled to maternity pay, so she was told anyway after applying.

Anyway that was just a bit of background, my question is since I will be the only person living in the house with an income will we get a 25% discount on the council tax that we pay?

Also, if anyone knows of anything we will be able to claim from the government please let me know. I have never claimed anything from the state before so it's all a bit new and they don't make it easy for you to find out what you're entitled to.

Thanks! :)
