Disabled relief
If you, or someone who lives with you, have a specific facility which is required to meet the special needs arising from a disability, you may qualify for a reduction on the banding of the property. To qualify the property must have at least one disabled person permanently resident, and one of the following:
- a room, which is predominantly used to meet their needs
- a second bathroom or kitchen used specifically to meet the needs of the disabled person
- sufficient space so that a wheelchair may be used about the property on a daily basis.
The Council Tax bill may be reduced by 1/9th of the charge for a property in Band D. From the 1st April 2000, the scheme was extended to include those properties in Band A.
If you believe these qualifying conditions are met please contact the Council Tax Section.
