Council tax discounts
Care and disabled reductions
If you or a member of your household are providing care, receiving care or disabled you may be entitled to a council tax reduction.
A reduction would apply if one of the following criteria is met
- everyone in the property is severely mentally impaired
- you or someone who lives with you has a disability and needs extra space to meet their special needs.
- only one other person is resident and you or a member of your household fall into one of the following categories:
- Severely mentally impaired
- Certain carers
- Hospital patients
- People in residential care homes, nursing homes and hostels providing a high amount of care
- Detained under the mental health act
- Your home is empty because:
- You are living in a care or residential home
- You are living elsewhere and receiving personal care
- You are living elsewhere for the purposes of providing personal care
- You are detained under the mental health act
If you wish to claim one of these reductions, you can complete and submit your council tax and exemption form online.
It is important that you provide all of the necessary information to support your application. For further help and assistance please contact us.
