Council Tax / Disability Discounts
Mon 20-Aug-07 10:22 AM

Does anybody know if there are any ongoing challenges to Council's incorrect interpretation of the SANDWELL MBC v PERKS case via the High Court or Judicial Review.Dover District Council are using that misinterpretation to refuse a Disability Discount by saying that there is no causitive link between the use of the room and my client's disability, which is rubbish !!
