Disability Discount

Are you disabled?

Is anyone that lives with you disabled?

Does your home have extra space, equipment or adaptations to support the disabled person’s needs?

If yes, you may get a reduction on your council tax bill.

Islington Council offers a council tax discount to residents whose homes need space, equipment or adaptations to support a person who is disabled.

The home must have one or more of the following:

An additional bathroom or lavatory that has been especially adapted. (There must be a non-adapted bathroom or lavatory in the property as well.)
An additional kitchen that has been especially adapted. (There must be a non-adapted kitchen in the property as well.)
A room (not a bathroom, kitchen or lavatory) that is predominately used by the person who is disabled in support of their needs. For example, a physical therapy room or a room set aside for dialysis.
Extra space inside the property to allow for the use of a wheelchair (e.g. stair lift, widened doorways, internal ramps).

The discount is equivalent to the property sitting one grade lower in the council tax band system. For example, if the property had been placed in Band D, it will be considered to be in Band C.
