Disabled Relief
A reduction can apply if there is a person living in your property who is permanently disabled. This applies to any adult or child, living at an address.
Disabled relief reduces the charge to the next band below. For example, properties in band D are charged as if they were in band C.
Properties in the lowest band, band A, will get a reduction of one ninth of band D.
For this reduction to apply one or more of the following conditions are required to be met:
- A room (not a kitchen, bathroom, or a lavatory) predominantly used by and required to meet the needs of the disabled person(s).
- A bathroom or kitchen which is not the only bathroom or kitchen and which is required to meet the needs of the disabled person(s).
- Sufficient space for the use of a wheelchair.
