The Council Tax Discretionary Relief is on offer for those who are unable to pay their bill due to exceptional circumstances.

Many councils have already delivered the rebate to residents.

People on Universal Credit will get the first instalment of a £650 one-off payment to help with the cost of living, from July 14.

This support will also go out to people on Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit.
