Occupied only by severely mentally impaired persons

Occupied exemption class U

Properties occupied only by those who are severely mentally impaired can be made exempt for Council Tax.

You must attach your proof of benefits award letters. On the last page for additional information, you must provide the names of any other occupants in the property.

There is a page on the form you will need to either print or send to your GP. This must be completed and signed by your GP before it is returned to us.

This exemption will not apply if there are 2 or more non-disregarded persons in the property. List all additional adults who do not fall under these criteria on the additional information page.

Without the full information and all supporting documents, we will not be able to award the exemption.
