Exceptional Hardship Payments
Exceptional Hardship Payments (EHP) are there to help residents who are getting Council Tax support and are facing exceptional hardship. Where the support we are already providing does not meet the full Council Tax amount. We are only able to award EHP where you have arrears in the current financial year.
