Apply for a council tax discount - persons with a significant cognitive impairment

Your full council tax bill is based on at least two adults (people over 18) living in a property.

People certified as having a significant cognitive impairment do not count towards the number of adults considered to be living in a property.

This means if 2 adults live in a property and 1 of them is a person with a significant cognitive impairment, the bill will be worked out as if only 1 adult lives there. This would reduce the bill by 25%

If the only person or all persons living in the property have a significant cognitive impairment, they will be fully exempt from council tax.
