People with disabilities

Do you (or someone who lives with you) need:

• A room.
• An extra bathroom or kitchen.
• Wheelchair space.

Has your property been adapted to meet special needs arising from a disability? If so, you may be entitled to a reduced council tax bill.

The bill may be reduced by one band. If the property is in Band A, a reduction can still be made. These reductions ensure that disabled people do not pay more tax on account of space needed because of a disability.

Please read the following notes if you think you wish to apply for relief.

If you think you may qualify and the reduction is not on your bill, please use the following form to apply or write to Council Tax, Tandridge District Council, Council Offices, Station Road East, Oxted, Surrey RH8 0BT.
