What happens next?

We will let you know if we need to see any proof, or if we will visit your home to check that you qualify. 

If your application is successful we will apply the discount, exemption or reduction to your account. 

We will send you a new bill and let you know your new payments. If your account is in credit you can claim a refund.


Tell us if something changes

You must tell us straight away if you are no longer entitled to a discount or exemption that you have been given.

If you don't tell us within 21 days of your situation changing you could receive a £70 penalty. You must also tell us if we have given you a discount or exemption by mistake.

We may contact you from time to time to check that you are still entitled to the discount or exemption that you have been given.
