A person is entitled to CTB in respect of the dwelling in which he is resident and has a liability to pay council tax (the residence does not have to be lawful either to be billed for council tax or to get CTB )
CTB has to be claimed in addition to HB, but if they have submitted a cliam form and indicasted that they want to claim CTB they will be entitled to it
If the Council Tax demand has been issued in the original tenants name, it looks to me that so far they are not liable for council tax simply because they have not been billed.
This could change at any time and they could be billed so you really need to sort out both the council tax and any CTB claim
