Did you know that you could pay less Council Tax if your child needs extra space due to their disability?
This applies to UK families with children who use a wheelchair indoors, need a second bathroom/kitchen due to health issues, or require another room due to their disability — such as for therapy or treatment.

If you qualify, your bill will be charged at the next lowest Council Tax band (those already on the lowest band get a 17% discount instead). You can ask for this to be backdated, but seek further advice if you're asking for more than 6 years of backdating.
To apply, contact your local council online or by phone. They may ask for extra evidence, such as a letter from your child's doctor or social worker.
