The proposals contained in the consultation document issued on 8 May, entitled "Changes to the local valuation cycle and management of employer risk", are intended to help funds to better manage employer risk and liabilities, and to ensure that employer contributions are set at an appropriate level. These objectives are consonant with the interests of all scheme members and would not affect the pension benefits which are due to existing members of the scheme<\/p>
The consultation closed on 31 July and we have received a large number of responses, from the perspective of both scheme employers and scheme members. It is right that we take time to consider the representations made and a formal response will be issued in due course.<\/p>"}

We do not collect information on the number of people claiming discounts. However, the number of dwellings benefiting from council tax exemptions under Class U (\u2018persons with a severe mental impairment\u2019) between 2009 to 2018 are set out in table 5 of the publication: \u2018Council Taxbase in England\u2019.
This can be found at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/758952/Table_5_2018_rev.xlsx<\/a>
The number of people with dementia claiming the exemption is not available since the information collected is not broken down by impairment.<\/p>"}
