So some people are getting £150 of their council tax to help with their energy cost. I am on Pension Credit and I don't pay Council tax but my energy prices are going up,. So is my council going to send me £150? Or have I got to freeze to death?
GONE ENGLAND

    Neither, given that you’ve ignored the £200 rebate. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    The answer may actually be 'yes', the council could well end up sending you money.
    Wait for the full details to be clarified, but this question was asked in the House this morning and the answer was that yes, those with discounted council tax bills would still receive the £150.
