Access Islington – council tax enquiries

Due to technical issues, Access Islington is currently unable to help with council tax queries over the phone or at our hubs.

You can still manage your council tax online through My Islington, including viewing your bill and making payments.

We’re working to resolve this as quickly as possible and are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you need to speak to someone about council tax, please try again later.

How to get a needs assessment

Before you can be assessed for financial support, you'll have to be assessed for care in a needs assessment

This looks at your circumstances and creates a support plan to keep you independent.

Find out more about a care needs assessment at Age UK website.

Only after you've had a social care needs assessment can you be assessed for financial support.
