: Very interesting. So, to qualify for a Council Tax reduction, do we have
to fill a room full of Braille books, have a massive Braille embosser
perhaps, and while you are at it, maybe all the paraphernalia that goes with
owning a guide dog could be stuck in that special room too?
:
: Will be interesting to hear the answers.

: | Take look here:
: | http://tinyurl.co.uk/ptm3
: | the property must have one of the following:
: | a room that has been modified for your, or the disabled person's sole
use
: |
: | an additional bathroom, lavatory or kitchen to meet your/their needs
: | extra space inside the property to allow a wheelchair to be used - if
the
: | wheelchair is for outside use only, this will not count
: | I would suggest ;you consult a welfare rights officer like at RNIB
: | and see if the council has interpreted the rules correctly
: | as you do have right of appeal.
: | I mean this bit is certainly open opinion:
: | "a room that has been modified for your, or the disabled person's sole
use"
: |
: | How doe council define the term:
: | "modified for your, or the disabled person's sole use"
