Apply for your Council Tax energy rebate discretionary scheme payment

Applications are now closed

Households in Council Tax property Bands A to D have been paid the £150 energy rebate payment. We are now looking to pay a further discretionary payment to eligible households as part of the government initiative to help households with rising energy costs.

The discretionary payments are for people that receive Local Council Tax Support (LCTS).

How much are the discretionary payments?

The payments are:

• £35 for customers in bands A to D who receive Local Council Tax Support
• £185 for customers in bands E to H who receive Local Council Tax Support

How to apply

The deadline for completion of this form has now passed and you are no longer able to apply for direct payment of the Discretionary Energy Rebate. If you did qualify and have yet to receive this Rebate, the amount will instead be credited to your Council Tax Account.
