Q

Martin says: In some circumstances those with a severe mental impairment (SMI) such as Alzheimer’s or dementia are disregarded for council tax purposes and can get their bills reduced (see mse.me/smi). And yes this may apply to some with Parkinsons.

Parkinson’s may also qualify you for a discount under the “disability reduction scheme”. If you’ve had to alter your home to make extra space to accommodate your needs then you may pay council tax at a lower band. See parkinsons.org.uk. EmailSundayMirror@ moneysavingexpert.
