If you or someone in your household is terminally ill, you may be able to get money off your council tax bill.
You will qualify if:
- you or someone in your household receives Council Tax Support; and
- you have a completed SR1 form (Special Rules 1 – confirming a terminal illness). Find out more about the SR1 form on the Marie Curie website.
Anyone who is helping someone with a terminal illness can apply on their behalf. This includes friends, healthcare workers or support staff.
To apply:
Email benefit.enquiries@manchester.gov.uk and attach a copy of both sides of your completed SR1 form. If you know it, include your Claim Reference number (or a household member’s). You can find this on any letter about your benefits.
