Disabled Band Reduction

If you or someone you live with has a disability you can apply for a Council Tax band reduction.

You may get a reduction in your Council Tax band if you or anyone in your home has a disability.

This applies to all types of properties, including care homes and hostels.

If you're eligible for the Disabled Band Reduction we'll reduce your band to the next lowest band.

You're eligible if either of the following applies. You have:

  • an extra bathroom, kitchen or other room that you need for that person
  • extra space inside the property for using a wheelchair

If you live in a band A property (the lowest band) we'll reduce your bill by one sixth. 

Find out more about Council Tax bands.
 

You must continue paying your Council Tax while we process your application.
