Disabled band reduction
The disabled band reduction scheme is to make sure that disabled people do not pay more Council Tax because they live in a larger property than they would need if they were not disabled.
To be able to claim the disabled band reduction, you must have at least one of the following features:
- A room (other than a bathroom, kitchen or lavatory) mainly used for the care and therapy of the disabled person and that has been modified from its original designed use
- A second bathroom or kitchen for meeting the needs of the disabled person
- Extra space inside the dwelling to allow for the use of a wheelchair

Please be aware that we will need to visit your property to confirm that this meets the eligibility criteria.
All reliefs and discounts awarded by the Council will be reviewed regularly.
