A person may be eligible for a Significant Cognitive Impairment (SCI) exemption or discount if they are medically certified as having a severe and permanent mental condition, or neurological change that impacts on the brain's ability to function, and has a significant impact on their daily life.
To qualify for a reduction, the person must also be entitled to one of the qualifying benefits.
- If you have been diagnosed as SCI by a doctor and you are living alone or only with others who are SCI, you will be exempt from paying Council Tax.
- If you have been diagnosed as SCI by a doctor and you live with one adult who is eligible to pay council tax, your household will receive a 25% reduction.
- If you have been diagnosed as SCI by a doctor and you live with 2 or more adults who are eligible to pay council tax there will be no reduction.
