What Are the Eligibility Criteria for the Disability Relief Discount?

AI Summary

To qualify for the disability relief discount on Council Tax in Torridge, several criteria must be met. Specifically, the disabled person must live in the property, and the property must have at least one of the following features:

Eligibility Criteria
A room (not a kitchen, bathroom, or toilet) used for meeting the needs of the disabled person (e.g., a room for dialysis equipment)
An additional bathroom or kitchen primarily for the disabled person’s use
Extra space to allow for a wheelchair to be used within the home

Additionally, the person responsible for paying the Council Tax should apply for the reduction, even if they are not the disabled person. This means parents can apply on behalf of their disabled children. If approved, it’s important to continue paying the regular instalments until notified of any changes.
