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 Council Tax Rebate.
In addition, discretionary funding has been supplied to billing authorities to support households who are in need but are not eligible for the Council Tax Rebate, known as the Discretionary Fund.
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 these rebate payments. Where a rebate payment is issued, the person/s that according to the Council's records were the taxpayer in respect of the hereditament on 1 April 2022 is eligible to receive the rebate. 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 account reference and the exact name details of an account holder as they appear on a recent bill. We will also 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 the liable Council Tax payer (or would have been if you property wasn't exempt). If we are unable to verify your bank details we will write to you asking your to provide a copy of a bank statement.
