“There's still time to set one up (although we can't give a specific deadline as it differs by council). If you don't set one up, the council will send you info on how to claim it.”
The Local Government Association (LGA) this week warned how those who don’t pay by direct debit could face delays in receiving their council tax rebate.
Councillor Shaun Davies said: “Having a direct debit set up will mean councils can automatically pay the £150 energy rebate straight into your bank account.
