Disabled Banding Reduction Scheme

Reductions for Disabilities Scheme

If there is a permanently disabled person living in the dwelling as their main home and he/she requires at least one of the following to meet the needs of their disability then there may be a reduction in the Council Tax payable on the property:

• a room (other than a bathroom, kitchen or toilet) used mainly by the disabled person
• an additional bathroom or kitchen for use by the disabled person
• extra space inside the dwelling to allow for the use of a wheelchair

If the dwelling is eligible, the Council Tax will be reduced to that of a property in the valuation band immediately below that shown in the valuation list. As from 1 April 2000, a reduction will also apply to a Band A property.

If you feel that you may be entitled to a reduction please apply using our online Disabled Banding Reduction form.
