I am a Pensioner - can I have a Discount?

Unfortunately the Council are unable to award a discount to someone who reaches pensionable age as there are no provisions in the legislation to do so.

However, the Government are in the process of making a one off payment to eligible pensioners, to help contribute towards their Council Tax.  For more information please contact the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) direct on telephone number 0845 6060265 or visit their website at www.thepensionservice.gov.uk.
