In the news: How to claim your £150 energy rebate
Basildon Council will shortly begin to issue payments to Direct Debit customers who are eligible for the government's £150 energy rebate. Those who do not pay their council tax by Direct Debit can apply from Wednesday 4 May.
- a one-off payment of £150 to households in Council Tax Bands A-D, who are not exempt from Council Tax
- a Discretionary Rebate scheme for those who need help with their energy bills but are not eligible
Arrangements for these payments have now been formally agreed at a meeting of the Urgent Decision and Staffing Matters Committee on Thursday 28 April 2022.
Payments for those who pay their council tax by Direct Debit are expected to be in bank accounts from Friday 6 May. An application form for those who do not pay their council tax by Direct Debit will be online from Wednesday 4 May.
