West Herts

Hi Jessbow, I appreciate it was some time back but you said that your Mother only needed state pension to receive Council Tax SMI discount and you said that the council was West Herts. I am unable to find West Hertfordshire Council anywhere on the internet, can you help

I have launched a new government petition for people with dementia of all ages who receive either Attendance Allowance or PIP/DLA asking the government to backdate both Council Tax Discount and Council Tax Exemption to the date the GP states they started with dementia. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/614616

Done and shared. We received a discount but certainly wasn't backdated!

MaNaAk Yes because of the way the present laws are worded people with dementia can wait months or even years before they receive either 25% discount or if they live alone 100% Exemption. Thank you for signing and sharing.

For anyone with dementia and receiving Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payments there are several free services listed on https://www.dementiaguidance.co.uk

According to King's College London and the L.S.E. Dementia cases in the UK are growing, https://www.dementiastatistics.org/statistics/prevalence-projections-in-the-uk . We need to act now for those in need by changing the Council Tax Discount Laws.​

#Dementia is a terminal illness without any potential cure where medication can only slow down its progress yet most councils in Wales hold back on allowances in council tax for up to 6 years. Please sign and circulate the petition​

One minute of your time could raise up to £1,580 Million pounds of Council Tax Discount by a change in the law for people with #dementia. No 50k marathon, no rattling a tin in the high street, just your name on this form https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/614616​

Only just seen this needed more publicity.
