Around 20,000 households across Liverpool are yet to receive payment of the council tax rebate.
Liverpool Council has confirmed that it has made more than 90,000 payments to residents of £150 as part of the £32m support scheme announced by the UK government to support people with increasing energy costs. However, a portion of the 110,000 households who pay their council tax by direct debit have yet to receive the cash.
The local authority rubber stamped the proposals which form two schemes - a core programme consisting of a rebate for properties in council tax bands A-D and discretionary programme that will help households outside of those bands and those who are eligible but may need further support. A total of £1.6m was made available to Liverpool Council by the government for the discretionary scheme on top of the £32m main pot.
