Discounts for health reasons
People receiving care
You can claim a 25% discount if you are the sole adult left in the property after another adult has gone into a care home and won't be returning to the property or has gone to live with someone else to receive care.
If your property is empty because you have to go into a care home or living with someone to receive care and won't be returning, you can claim a full exemption.
As a relative or a friend, you can apply for the above discount or exemption on behalf of the person going into care.
