Many people across the UK may be entitled to a council tax discount, says Martin Lewis, who has urged them, or their carers, to check whether they are eligible or not.
Those categorised as being "severely mentally impaired" could be missing out on hundreds or even thousands of pounds and may not even be aware. And the money expert claimed there were plenty of people who were eligible but not in receipt of the discount.
According to a report in MyLondon, the categorisation means having an impairment of intelligence and social functioning that is permanent. This can come from health issues relating to dementia, learning difficulties, brain injuries, strokes and more, which needs to be medically certified.
