Council tax discounts

NAS70894

My partner has just recieved her autism diagnosis, she has requested her GP to sign a council letter confirming that Autism is an SMI so she can get the SMI discount. The GP has stated it is not an SMI and refuses to sign? We live in Wales.

  • Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other contributors here.  You need much more than an autism diagnosis to be considered for council tax discount based on a serious mental illness.  You also need to be eligible for certain disability benefits.

    I recommend your next course of action is to contact a citizen's advice bureau.
