Council tax discount for getting care or giving care

Let us know if you:

• live alone but require a live in carer to help you who is not your spouse or child
• are in hospital
• have a partner who normally lives with you in hospital
• have had to leave your home empty to go and live with the person you provide care for.

Make sure you have your council tax account number ready. Here's where you can find it.

Tell us your details, what discount you want, and include as much information about your situation as you can - using the list above for guidance - to help us arrange this as soon as possible.
