Domestic energy customers will receive the £200 reduction on their energy bills this autumn regardless of their type of payment method. This is alongside the wider support available, such as the Warm Home Discount and Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment.

Households that are not directly eligible for the council tax rebate might be eligible for the discretionary funding administered by local authorities. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has published guidance on eligibility for the council tax rebate and the discretionary funding.
