Anyone with ILR and Single person discount?

I read posts that Council Tax Single person discount is not counted towards public fund benefits, but still I want to know if anyone who really has claimed single person discount ever in his tenure was able to get ILR?

The single person discount for Council Tax isn't a Public Fund. Claiming as a single person however, when there are other occupants could well affect an ILR application. If you're entitled to claim the discount then this will have no adverse affect on your ILR application as this would be a fraudulent claim.
Here's a link to the official list. Note that 'Council tax benefit' is not the same as 'single person discount'

Thanks for your reply Casa, I saw your reply & above link in other post too. Document in that link lists "what can be counted as public fund" & absence of "single person discount" in that list makes case stronger, however I wanted to see if anyone who claimed discount did actually get ILR..

And yes I'm being honest in claiming this discount, I used this discount just for 3 months when I was living alone... I can prove that with wife's immigration stamp if required.
