Households are being warned they could miss out on a £150 grant to help towards energy costs if they don’t claim it in time.
The rebate, unveiled by former chancellor Rishi Sunak in April, aims to help households in council tax bands A-D to help cope with rising energy bills. It is believed that over a million eligible households have still not applied for the rebate.
For many, the rebate was given out automatically, but those who do not use direct debit as a way to pay for their council tax have been asked to apply manually to the council for the grant.
