What happens next
After applying you must still pay the amount on your council tax bill until you hear from us.
We'll check every year that you should still get the discount. We may cancel your discount if you don't reply when we contact you.
Tell us about a change
If you no longer qualify or something changes you must tell us within 21 days. You may have to pay a fine if you don't tell us.
Appeals
If we refuse your application and you don't agree with our decision you can appeal. Once we get your appeal we will decide within two months.
