Energy Bill Rebate -. £150 Council Tax Band

[OldChestNuts]

Anyone could clarify from the council website that property band E will get £150 support.?
The webpage is confusing.

https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/council-tax-rebate

To the bottom of the webpage talks about Band E. Not sure qualify for the rebate.

Isn't it just to band D ie A to D?

[barry1010]

Only if your band E property has been reclassified as band D due to the reduction available to some disabled people in some circumstances

[Hopkirk]

It's only bands A to D that qualify.

It appears from that website as if some people with a disability in a band E house might already qualify for a reduction to band D rates and they would qualify for the rebate.

[bhg481]

I read that as meaning that some properties classed as Band E will be treated as being Band B (so receive the £150) in certain circumstances because they have disabled residents.

[gingejbee]

^ the so-called "disabled band reduction scheme".

[THECORBYLOON]

If you live in a larger house because of your disability needs and you can demonstrate that fact, the actual Band is reduced by one Band so E goes to D, D goes to C etc.
