Council Tax reduction for those affected by dementia?
Some people with dementia are eligible for a discount on their council tax bill. Sometimes the people who care for them are eligible for a discount too. Take a look at this factsheet produced by the Alzheimer’s Society.
Some people with dementia and their carers will not have to pay full council tax. This may be because:
The property is exempt.
The people living there are disregarded (ignored in the calculation so they don’t pay it).
The people living there are eligible for a means-tested discount.
Any of the above can mean that no council tax is due or there is a discount on the council tax bill.
