What is the Energy Rebate?

Who will receive it?

The payment will be made to all occupied households valued in Council Tax bands A-D.

How will I receive my £150?

If you pay your Council Tax by Direct Debit you do not need to do anything to receive this money. The £150 will be paid directly into your bank account by mid-April 2022.

Set up a Direct Debit to pay your council tax and receive the £150 paid directly into your account.

If you pay your Council Tax in another way, don’t worry we will write to you with details of how to claim your payment. You will need to take the letter to the post office along with your identification and you will receive the £150 at the post office counter.
