Apply for a Council Tax discount.
Disabled Band Reduction Scheme
You may be eligible for the scheme if you live in a larger property than you would need if you or another occupant weren’t disabled.
You’ll have to show that you’ve either:
an extra bathroom, kitchen or other room that you need for the disabled person
extra space inside the property for using a wheelchair
The property must be the main home of at least 1 disabled person. This can be an adult or a child - it doesn’t have to be the person responsible for paying the Council Tax.
I must look into this, as I am registered disabled, I worked for the council,and was retired through ill health. I have a friend who works in the Council tax office, and she has not said anything, not my local office in another town. I must give her a ring, and find out more.
