Reductions for people with disabilities
If a property has certain features for a disabled person to use, it is possible that we can tax the property at a lower band than that at which it has been valued. However, we will not change the valuation list itself.
Who Qualifies?
To qualify for this reduction, the disabled person, who does not need to be the person responsible for paying Council Tax, must be substantially disabled.
The property must have one of the following features.
-
A room other than a kitchen, bathroom or lavatory which is used mainly by the disabled person.
-
A second bathroom or kitchen provided for the disabled person
-
Enough floor space to allow the disabled person to use a wheelchair
Examples of rooms set aside for a disabled person to use could be one used for dialysis equipment. (There must be a causative link between the disability and the requirement for the use of the room).
