You will probably find that you will get a rebate discount on your Council Tax, this would be depending on a few factors,such as who is living with you in the house,the income of the house,and the benifits that are paid to those living in the house. You can call your local council office and they will send you a form to fill in and send back for review.
Good luck.

Generally no, although it depends on whether you have any other sources of income and/or saving's.
