Tens of thousands of Wirral households will be able to claim their £150 Council Tax rebate this week.
In February, the government announced a package of support to help people with increasing energy costs. This included a one-off payment of £150 to households in Council Tax bands A to D and a discretionary fund for higher band properties.
On May 11, Wirral Council said those who pay by direct debit can expect to see the payment being made into their bank accounts from that week onwards. But that still left more than 40,000 households who do not pay their Council Tax in this way.
