ADHD and claiming for Disabled band reduction

d**

I wondered if anyone had any guidance on applying for the disabled band reduction when you have severe ADHD. I am an adult who is diagnosed and living in a two bedroom property alone and I am seeking to make the claim based on the second room being a room that I use specifically to provide me a sanctuary from other areas of my home and i wondered if anyone had experience of making this claim specifically with ADHD and the criteria that was used to make a successful claim,

If you live alone maybe difficult

I think it's more for things like having to adapt a downstairs room into a bathroom or wet room.

If you live alone why do you need a seprate room to get away  from other areas of your houme?

What are you trying to get away from?

It is highly unlikely you would be eligible. When the criteria mentions needing to use a separate room specifically for a disability it generally means for such things as kidney dialysis etc.
I am a Revenues Officer and have never yet seen it been awarded for the reasons you have stated.

Forgot to add, you may be entitled however to SMI exemption. If you get a disability benefit such as PIP, DLA, ESA etc and your GP signs you as SMI then you can get 100% exemption if living alone. Just ask your local Council Tax office for the SMI form.
