Reductions for disability
Your bill may be reduced if a person with a permanent disability
(whether an adult or child) lives in the dwelling. Your dwelling
must have certain features which are essential or of major
importance to the well being of the person with the disability.
These features are:
- A room other than a bathroom, kitchen or toilet which is
used mainly by the disabled person.
- An additional bathroom or kitchen for the use of the disabled
person.
- Extra space inside the dwelling for the use of a
wheelchair.
When considering whether a reduction should apply, the Council
have to decide whether the person with the disability would find it
impossible or extremely difficult to live in the dwelling, or
whether their health would suffer, or the disability become more
severe, if the extra feature were not available in the
dwelling.
To qualify for a reduction, the extra room need not be specially
built, but can be an existing room used specifically for the person
with the disability.
If your home is eligible, your bill will be reduced to that of a
property in the valuation band immediately below the band shown on
the valuation list. For example, if your home is in band D, your
bill will be reduced to that for a band C dwelling. This will not,
however, affect the value of your home or its banding on the
valuation list. In this example, it would still be shown as band D
on the valuation list. If your home is in band A (the lowest
Council Tax band) a reduction of 1/9 of the band D Council Tax
would apply.
