Apply for a council tax discount - persons with severe mental impairment

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

Persons who are classed as severely mentally impaired 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 classed as severely mentally impaired, 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 severe mental impairment, they will be fully exempt from council tax.
