Charge non-dependant deductions in the English working-age local Council Tax Reduction schemes (Merton, Kingston upon Thames, Newham, Westminster, Oxford) for adults in the applicant's own benefit unit, deduct separately for each adult in another family who is not its claimant or partner, band each on their own income and hours, and apply benefit-receipt exemptions only to the award's claimant and partner.

# The English working-age local schemes keep their own aggregation, which
# charges only other families' non-dependants. Widening the shared
# eligibility must not make a jointly liable sharer bear the head's own son.
- name: Local CTR (Newham), a jointly liable sharer does not bear the head's own in-unit son
# The English working-age local schemes reproduce the Default Scheme's para 9
# and para 30(5): the head's own son normally resides with both jointly liable
# people, so each bears half his deduction (Newham para 30B: £18.84 a week on
# £384.62, £979.68 a year). 70% of each half of the £1,800 is £630.
