People with disabilities
If you, or someone who lives with you (an adult or child), uses a wheelchair indoors, or has an additional bathroom, kitchen or other room to meet special needs arising from a disability, you may be entitled to Disabled Person’s Relief. For properties in band B to H, the relief is given by calculating your Council Tax bill on the Valuation Band lower than the one allocated to your property.
For example
If your property is in band D and you are successful with your application, your Council Tax charge will be based on a band C.
From 1st April 2000 Disabled Person’s Relief may also apply to band A properties. The reduction for a band A property will be calculated in line with the other bands. This reduction ensures that disabled people do not pay more tax on account of space needed because of a disability.
If you think you may be entitled to a reduction you should contact the Council Tax Section for more information and an application form.
