The CT rebate I will not see as I get most of it paid anyway unless that comes off the bit I do have to pay

You will see your overall council tax bill reduce by £150, so if you’re paying anything towards it at all you will see that amount reduce. Precisely how much will depend on whether the council tax benefit %age is calculated on the amount initially demanded by the council or the amount actually owing after the discount.
The £200 reduction in October is a response to the present cap increase. Having taken these measures today, I think Sunak has made it politically impossible for him not to act again in the event of a further crippling rise in the cap in October. But we will have to wait and see.
