If you are a full time student, you may be eligible for an exemption, please move on to question 2.
2) Is the letter for you or are you requesting it on behalf of someone else?
If the letter is for someone else to claim a Council Tax discount or exemption (for example, a parent), you will need to order a Confirmation of Student Status letter, which can be requested here.
