Why do you think you and your wife are entitled to a Council tax reduction :?

This is something you need to query with your local authority. There are very few members who have in-depth knowledge on the award of discounted rates as this is primarily an immigration forum.

You will have to wait until someone is online who is able to advise you. The Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) should be able to help.
