Apply for Council Tax discounts and exemptions

If you or someone who lives with you is disabled, you may qualify for a Council Tax reduction. If you’re eligible, you’ll pay one band lower than the current band for your property.

You are eligible for this reduction if the following apply:

• a disabled person is living in the property
• the property contains a room, other than a kitchen, bathroom or toilet, which is predominantly used by and meets the needs of the disabled person (a bedroom is not considered a qualifying room)
• the property contains an additional kitchen or bathroom which is needed to meet the needs of the disabled person
• there is sufficient floor space in the property to accommodate a wheelchair and the disabled person needs to use a wheelchair in the property
