Don’t miss out on your £150 energy rebate!

People living in Redbridge are being urged to claim their £150 energy rebate from the council.

Households in homes classified in bands A-D are entitled to a one-off payment of £150 to support increased energy costs.

In April, most households will receive their energy rebate automatically because they pay their council tax by direct debit.

For anyone who doesn’t pay council tax by direct debit, they can claim their payment. 

Redbridge Council is aware that fraudsters have been contacting people pretending to be from their local council in some parts of the UK, asking them for bank details to access their energy payments. Redbridge Council will never call a resident unannounced to request their bank details.
