Factors Affecting the Discount
- Location: Each council in the UK runs its own scheme, so the specific discount amount may vary depending on your location.
- Household Income: This includes your income, savings, pensions, and any income earned by your partner.
- Number of Dependents: The presence of children living with you can affect the discount.
- Other Occupants: The presence of other adults in your household can also influence the discount.
