Disabled person discount

If a disabled person (adult or child) is resident then you may be able to get a reduction in your Council Tax bill.

To qualify, the property must have one of the following features in order to meet the needs of the disabled person:-

1. A room, other than a bathroom, kitchen or lavatory, which is predominantly used by and required for meeting the needs of the disabled person (Please note that the reduction will not apply if the room used by the disabled person would be required, by the household, for use as a bedroom or living room, even if he/she was not disabled)
2. A second kitchen or bathroom used for meeting the needs of the disabled person, or
3. Widened doorways or access to cater for the use of a wheel chair indoors.

If you qualify you will be charged a band below that in which your property has been assessed e.g. If your property is in band D then the charge will be at band C rate.

If your home is assessed as band A, which is the lowest band, we can still offer you a discount if one of the above conditions are met.

To apply simply email us or contact the Council Tax section on 01554 742200.

An officer will then contact you to arrange a suitable time to visit you at your home to assess your claim.
