Council Tax Application for Reduction for
Persons with Disabilities |
|
|
Only persons who are liable to pay the Council Tax may
apply for a reduction and the dwelling must be the sole or main residence of at
least one qualifying individual.
A 'qualifying individual' means a person, who is substantially and permanently
disabled, (whether by illness, injury, congenital deformity or otherwise).
|
|
|
In assessing this application, the authority will need to
be satisfied that:
a) There is a disabled resident who needs either space for a wheelchair to be
used inside the home or
an additional kitchen, bathroom or other room;
and
b) That this space or room is essential or of major importance to the
well-being of the disabled
resident because of the nature and extent of their
disability.
|
|
|
It will help in the consideration of this application if
the applicant can supply a note from a doctor, or other qualified professional
such as an occupational therapist or social worker, confirming that the
disabled resident needs the extra space or room as stated in Section 3 below.
If for any reason you are unable to obtain such confirmation easily, then do
not delay your application. However I may subsequently need to ask for evidence
in support of your application.
