Council tax discount if you have a disability
If any room in your home has been adapted for you or for a disabled person who lives with you, you could get a lower council tax bill.
If you are able to get this discount, your council tax bill will be changed to the same amount as a property one band lower in the council tax band system.
For example, if your property is in band D, your bill will be reduced to the same as a band C property.
Adaptations in your home
If your home has been adapted for you, it must include one of these.
- An extra bathroom or toilet that has been adapted (you must also have a non-adapted bathroom or toilet in your home).
- An extra kitchen that has been adapted (you must also a non-adapted kitchen in your home).
- A room - not including a bathroom, kitchen or toilet - that is mostly used by the person who is disabled to support their needs, such as a physical therapy room or a room for dialysis.
- Extra space inside the property to allow for the use of a wheelchair, for example a stair lift, widened doorways and internal ramps.
When you claim, you will get a visit from one of our inspectors to help assess your home and decide if you can get the discount.
Once we have assessed your home, we will send you a new bill with the discount.
