Disablement Reduction
Your Council Tax bill could be reduced if a permanently disabled person (adult or child) lives in the property as their main home. To qualify, your property should provide at least one of the following features to meet the needs of the disabled person:
A room (other than a bathroom, kitchen or toilet) used by, and required for meeting the needs of, the disabled person.
An additional bathroom or kitchen for use by the disabled person.
Extra space inside the property to allow for the use of a wheelchair.
The disablement reduction is equivalent to paying one band lower. For example, if your property is in Band D, we will charge you as if it were in Band C. If your property is already in the lowest band, Band A, we will reduce your bill by one sixth.
If you think you may be entitled to a reduction, print out and complete the following application form. We will then arrange to visit your property to make an assessment as to whether or not you qualify.
