    If the property was already in the lowest band, then there's no further discount.

    No it wasn't lowest.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    My disabled brother lives in an adapted flat which is in band A. He gets a further deductioin on his Council tax becaise of the adaptions.

    to quote:

    If there is someone (adult or child) living in a household who is substantially and permanently disabled the council tax bill for the property may be reduced. The reduction is made by charging council tax on a lower valuation band than the one the property is in. For example, if the property is in band D, the council tax bill will be worked out as if it were in band C. This reduction also applies to dwellings in band A. The reduction will be the same proportion of the council tax bill as the properties in the higher bands.
