The Government has announced that it will change the name of council tax benefit to council tax rebate as part of the campaign to encourage pensioners to claim the help they are entitled to.
Powers to rename Council Tax Benefit have been taken in an amendment to the Welfare Reform Bill which is due to reach its final stages on 10 November.
The Government will now work with local councils, the Royal British Legion and other stakeholder organisations on the administrative steps and costs involved for local authorities before setting out the final timetable for implementing the change across the country.
