On 3rd February 2022, Government announced the introduction of a £150 non-repayable rebate for households in England in council tax bands A to D, known as the Energy Rebate.
To provide some immediate relief for these rising costs, while targeting those most likely to require support, billing authorities have been asked to provide a £150 one-off payment to a liable council tax payer (or a person who would otherwise be liable where the property is exempt) for every household that occupies a property which meets the scheme criteria.
The most recent information can be found on the Government's website:

This form is provided to capture the information required by the Council to verify and make the Energy Rebate payment. Where the Council has reason to believe that the information that we hold about the taxpayer is inaccurate we may withhold or recover the payment.
You will need to have your council tax payment reference number (a 10 digit number starting with 71) and the exact name details of an account holder as they appear on a recent Council Tax bill. We will ask for your date of birth.Payments will be made by BACS to your bank account. You will be required to self-certify that on 1 April 2022, you were a liable Council Tax payer (or would have been if you property wasn't exempt).
