Disabled reduction review

We’re currently conducting a review of all Council Tax accounts in receipt of a disabled reduction.

You may have recently received a text and/or email requesting you to complete a secure online form to confirm your disabled reduction entitlement. This is genuine and should be completed to make sure you keep your reduction.

Your reduction may be removed if we don't receive a response.
