If you qualify, your bill will be charged at the next lowest Council Tax band (those already on the lowest band get a 17% discount instead). You can ask for this to be backdated, but seek further advice if you're looking for more than 6 years of backdating.
Contact your local council online or by phone to apply. They may ask for extra evidence, such as a letter from your child's doctor or social worker.
