Single person discount review

Complete your single person discount review

If your circumstances have not changed, you still need to complete the review as requested using the form above.

You do not need to re-apply for single person discount, therefore please do not complete our online single person discount form.

Report a change in circumstances

We are urging residents who claim a single person discount on their council tax to report any changes in their circumstances ahead of a district-wide review.

Find out how to report a change in your circumstances.

Council tax payers across Lichfield District who receive a 25 percent reduction on their bill as single occupancy residents will be checked this June (2020), to make sure their reductions are correct.

The review forms part of the council’s measures to prevent and detect fraud and protect the public purse.

We have appointed Capita Local Government Services to carry out a comprehensive review. They will work with Experian, the credit reference agency, using data-matching technology to identify where people are possibly claiming a discount on their council tax to which they are not entitled.
