- Hammersmith and Fulham (working-age, band `D`, annual liability `GBP 1,800`, no children, no savings): the council's 2026/27 report continues its 2025/26 default-style scheme with annual uprating, providing up to `100%` support for low-income residents. PolicyEngine UK models the legacy `20%` taper, `GBP 16,000` capital limit, tariff income above `GBP 6,000`, and the uprated non-dependant deduction table from `GBP 5.20` to `GBP 15.95`; it returns `council_tax_reduction = GBP 1,800` and `council_tax_less_benefit = GBP 0` before non-dependant deductions.
7070
- Stockport (working-age, band `D`, annual liability `GBP 1,800`, no children, no savings): the council's 2026/27 scheme caps most working-age support at the equivalent Band `A` liability, has an `GBP 8,000` capital limit, and applies `GBP 5` or `GBP 10` weekly non-dependant deductions by gross income. PolicyEngine UK returns `council_tax_reduction = GBP 1,200` and `council_tax_less_benefit = GBP 600` before non-dependant deductions.
7171
- Wakefield (working-age, band `D`, annual liability `GBP 1,800`, no children, no savings): the council's 2026/27 scheme disregards DWP income, uses assessed weekly non-DWP income bands with maximum support of `70%`, has a `GBP 6,000` capital limit, and applies a flat `GBP 7.50` weekly non-dependant deduction. PolicyEngine UK returns `council_tax_reduction = GBP 1,260` and `council_tax_less_benefit = GBP 540` before non-dependant deductions.
