More than 3,000 Nottingham households who have applied for their £150 council tax rebate are yet to receive it amid system delays. The government announced the rebate earlier in the year as a measure to help families through high food and energy prices.
Payments started to be made in April, with local councils determining who is eligible and making the payments. Households in council tax bands A-D qualify for the payment, which will not need to be paid back.
In an update, Nottingham City Council says that applications for 3,300 households are still pending. Councillor Adele Williams, the deputy leader of the council, said: "We know many families in Nottingham are struggling at the moment and we continue to work hard to pay eligible households the government's £150 council tax rebate.
