Disabled Person’s Allowance – SHSCT Area

If you live in a property that has been adapted or has additional features to accommodate the needs of a disabled person living there, you might be entitled to a discount of 25% on your rates with Disabled Person’s Allowance.
Disabled Person’s Allowance is not means tested, so we won’t ask you to provide

Types of adaptations that qualify are: For people aged 18 and over. Cost: • a room; other than a kitchen; bathroom or toilet; which is wholly used by the person with a disability for treatment or therapy; • an extra kitchen for the person with a disability; • an extra toilet for the person with a disability (including an ensuite); • an extra bathroom (including extra toilets and an ensuite); • extra floor space to use a wheelchair easily inside the property (wheelchairs for outdoor use only are excluded).
