Residents in the Royal Borough, who pay Council Tax by Direct Debit and live in Band A to D properties, are starting to receive their £150 energy rebate payments from this week.
Most households in Council Tax Bands A to D are getting a one-off award of £150 from the Government in 2022/23 to help with increased energy costs. The money does not have to be repaid.
The process for making these payments is different depending on whether an eligible resident pays Council Tax by Direct Debit or not.
Direct Debit payers (Bands A to D) – no action neededNo action is needed for the 72 per cent of all Band A to D households in the Royal Borough who pay by Direct Debit. The council is using Direct Debit details to pay the money automatically into people’s bank accounts, unless there is a query due to the liable party name being different.
This payment process is expected to run for up to two weeks. No confirmation of payment will be issued so please check the account you use to pay your Direct Debit.
Non Direct Debit payers (Bands A to D) – complete the formIf you live in a Band A to D property and do not pay Council Tax by Direct Debit, please complete an online grant form to provide bank account and other requested details.
