Council Tax Discounts For People With Dementia

EDM number 1026 in 2008-09, proposed by Paul Burstow on 10/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Housing benefits.

That this House notes that 117,400 people in receipt of attendance allowance or disability living allowance have dementia; further notes that this condition and these benefits qualifies the recipient for a 25 to 100 per cent. discount on their council tax in a two person household and a 100 per cent. discount in a single person household; regrets that the Department for Work and Pensions has made no estimate of the number of households in receipt of attendance allowance or disability living allowance that take-up their entitlement to council tax discount; and calls on the Department for Work and Pensions to examine the introduction of an automatic council tax discount enrolment scheme for those in receipt of attendance allowance or disability living allowance.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
