Rates relief

Disabled Persons Relief

Relief of up to 100% is available to establishments where nursing care is provided within the terms of the Rating (Disabled Persons) Act 1978.

The Disabled Persons Act 1978 is a UK-wide legislation that aimed to improve the welfare and rights of disabled individuals.

You may be eligible discount if you meet the criteria:

To qualify the premises must be wholly or mainly used for one of the following purposes:

  • The provision of residential accommodation for the care or after-care of disabled persons or persons suffering from illness.

(Note: "care" in the above does not include the provision of medical, surgical or dental treatment.)

  • The provision of facilities for training, or keeping suitably occupied, disabled persons suffering from illness
  • The provision of welfare services for disabled persons
  • The provision for disabled persons of facilities for employment or work in terms of Section 15 of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1944
  • The provision of sheltered employment by a local authority in terms of Section 3(1) of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1958

If the whole property is not used for these purposes, we may not give you the full relief.

What evidence do I need to submit?

  • A plan or diagram of the layout of each floor of the premises indicating against each room/section of the plan and the use of which it is put (please note, handwritten plans will not be accepted).

We kindly request you to submit the necessary supporting evidence for your application. Please be informed that failure to provide the requested documentation may result in the assessment of your application being delayed or rejected. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
