Discounts and exemptions
Disabled people
We offer a reduction in the Council Tax band of the property where a disabled person or persons live.
Having a disability does not automatically entitle you to the disabled band reduction.
This is offered when the disabled person makes use of additional rooms to meet therapeutic or day-to-day needs. For disabled people living in a property in the lowest band, A, a reduction approximately equivalent to 10% will be given.
To qualify, the property needs to be one of the following:
- has an extra bathroom or kitchen adapted from rooms available in the property, to meet the needs of the disabled person
- where a wheelchair is used indoors
- where a special room is required to meet the therapeutic needs of the disabled person
Please note a property inspector may visit the property to conduct further checks before awarded the band reduction.
If you have received a letter from us to complete a review of disabled persons council tax reduction, please use the form below.
If the disabled person is no longer resident at the property, the band reduction will no longer apply.
