he does not work and he has no respect for her. she is 89 .

 

i would like to tell the council but i know he will just get her to paid it !!

 

she has dementia, and does not no what she is doing.

Good luck to him.

He will be in the gutter has soon as his grandmother gives up the ghost.

Ctax is per property not person

 

So I'd expect granny gets it free anway?

 

But as said he's a shock coming soon...

What do you mean he has never paid it?

Is he liable for it?

If he lives with his grand mother,

is she the bill payer?

Does she not already pay it?

 

Do you know what their agreement is?

 

 

Does he help with her everyday needs to earn his keep?

 

Sorry if I sound harsh, but you come across as a nosey parker rather than a concerned family member etc.

 

 

I mean no disrespect, just need more info before we can evaluate and decide who might owe what.

yea she does get the council tax free. i just better wait for karma to catch up with him thanks all

[GrumpyToSayTheLeast]

So if she gets it free, how is anyone going to be chased for it?

Is he her registered carer?

If you are concerned about possible elder abuse, then phone up social services and explain why you are concerned. Simply saying he doesn't pay council tax is likely not to be taken seriously..

[trustingod]

yes i do understand what your saying about being a nosey parker but i have not given the full story . its not a happy relationship she wants him out the house she pays for every thing and the social services are now involved due to his neglect . she does not pay council tax as exempt but he told her not to say he lives there .

[Consumer dude]

What is your relationship to either of them if any ?

[SabreSheep]

OK if she receives CTax reductions then anyone living with her may impact on entitlements.

 

You could in theory make an anonymous report to the LA but in doing so may harm the person you intend to protect as any extra liability would be the bill payers.

As SabreSheep says this could all end in tears as the chances are nothing has been said about him living there & the chances are she has had Single Person Discount applied on top of any associated Benefits. He, no doubt will get off scot free whilst the old lady could even end up with a criminal record - sounds as if this should all be approached sensitively and may need the help of Local Councillors. Best sorted before it gets any worse.
