- patients of a residential home, nursing home or mental nursing home or hostel
- school and college leavers
- full time students

- people staying in short-stay hostels or night shelters
- care workers
- carers
- apprentices

Should you be unhappy with a decision made regarding the discount you can appeal to the Council, if you are still disatisfied, you can take your appeal further to the valuation tribunal (external link).
