See below

What about if I have dual fuel? Everyone?
I think it's £200 to each household that pays for energy.
- A £150 council tax rebate to help with the cost of energy in April - This won’t need to be repaid.
No doubt that will only be for those on low incomes. |
The £150 will not be done on income it will be given to those in council tax bands A-D.
However, there will also be a new discretionary fund of £150m for councils to help low-income people who live in larger homes.
The Warm Homes Discount will expand from 2m to 3m people.
