my mother in law is receiving single occupancy discount on her council tax and in receipt of attendance allowance. Her doctor said at the beginning of the year she has dementia and he wanted her in a home. She did not want to go therefore she has three carers a day plus the nurse, a cleaner and gardener. She pays for this and I was told she would be exempt from council tax and therefore applied. As the doctor did not sign the required form for the council she has to pay. If her doctor says she has dementia and needs care shouldn’t she not have to pay council tax
