Energy rebate not yet sent to thousands of English and Welsh households

Many of those who don't use direct debit for council tax are still waiting for 150 after two months

Thousands of households are still waiting for the 150 energy rebate more than two months after the scheme to help with the rising cost of living was launched.

The payment, part of a package of measures announced by the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, in February, is aimed at those living in properties in council tax bands A to D and designed to help cover rising energy bills.
