Around 80,000 households across Leeds eligible for the £150 energy bill grant have yet to receive it.
The government announced a one-off payment in March for every home between council tax bands A and D, to help people cope with spiraling bills.
Leeds, like other councils, were able to hand out the cash relatively quickly to households who pay council tax by direct debit, but taxpayers who pay by other means have been harder to reach. Despite a social media plea urging those who haven’t had the rebate to come forward, around a quarter of people in the city entitled to the £150 still haven’t got it.
