A council in Nottinghamshire has issued a message to the few remaining residents who are yet to claim their £150 tax rebate payment. The issue concerns those who do not pay their council tax by direct debit and were instead sent a Post Office voucher to redeem.
Gedling Borough Council sent out letters to residents who do not pay their tax by direct debit, because the Labour-run authority could not directly pay the Government's £150 rebate into their accounts. This letter included a redeemable Post Office voucher for £150.
This had to be claimed by August 13 however, and some people missed the deadline date. This has now been extended, but only until August 31.

The council says: "We recently launched a scheme for residents, who we could not pay their energy bills rebate directly to, to claim the rebate from a local Post Office before 13 August, using a paper voucher sent to them in the post.
"A small number of these were not claimed before the expiry date. The scheme has now been extended until 31 August 2022 and new invites are on their way this week to residents that failed to redeem their first voucher.
"The new vouchers also include an updated list of forms of ID that can be used to claim the rebate, including blue badges and local authority issued bus passes."
