Lone Pensioner Allowance – SHSCT Area

If you are the Ratepayer and are aged 70 or over and live alone, you may be entitled to a discount of 20% on your rates with Lone Pensioner Allowance.
Lone Pensioner Allowance is not means tested, so we won’t ask you to provide information about your income and savings. If you are eligible, you can make an application at any time during the rating year. You may still be entitled to Lone Pensioner Allowance if you are over 70 and don’t live alone if you: Cost: • live with a carer who is not your spouse or partner; • provide care for someone who lives with you who is not your spouse or partner; • live with anyone who is under the age of 18; • live with someone who has a severe mental impairment including your spouse or partner.
