  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThe amount of council tax payable under Part I of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 is reduced where a person resident in a dwelling falls to be disregarded for the purposes of discount. Schedule 1 to the Act provides for classes of persons to qualify for the purposes of discount, and the Council Tax (Discount Disregards) Order 1992 makes further provision in relation to certain of those classes.\nThis order amends article 3 of the 1992 Order, which deals with the severely mentally impaired, so that a person who is the partner of a jobseeker whose jobseeker’s allowance (under the Jobseekers Act 1995) is increased on grounds of that person’s incapacity for work may qualify for the purposes of the discount.",
