Person living elsewhere to receive care

Unoccupied exemption class I

An unoccupied property where the last occupier who paid the Council Tax has moved to receive care, but not in a hospital or care home. If the move is due to old age, disablement, illness, alcohol or drug dependence, or a mental disorder, the property can be made exempt for Council Tax, providing no one else lives there.

You will need to provide a letter from your GP explaining why you need to live elsewhere to receive care. Without the full information and all supporting documents we will not be able to award the exemption.
