When the 150 150 program was announced in April, it was expected that payments would be made from the beginning of that month and in May in almost a quarter of a million homes. However, some residents across the city have not received financial support for their energy bills. In a statement posted on the Internet, the Liverpool Council said: “We know many of you are wondering when you will receive the Council’s energy tax deduction. We are processing them as fast as we can and we have already made over 90,000 payments “.

The local authority said that residents who pay by standing order first receive their discount as their bank details are already in its system. The majority of these have now been paid, according to the Liverpool Council. He adds: “The remaining direct debit payers, where a question has been asked in our systems, are being considered as a matter of priority. “If we can verify the suitability using our existing files, we will do it. If we can not, we will contact to request additional information. “ Those who paid their first direct charge in May must apply electronically and the Liverpool Council communicates with those affected. Letters are sent to households that pay by standing order, pay city tax through their benefits or pay through their salary to the Liverpool Council, with details on how to apply. Those who are in this category can deduct 150 150 from their tax account. The council added: “Due to the large number of households entitled to claim, the letters are sent in batches. “This is done so that we can effectively manage the processing of applications. We will implement alternative procedures for people without internet access, with details included in the letter “. Those who can not afford to wait until the payment is made, go to the support options available through the Liverpool Council website. The authority was briefed: “We know that many people are struggling with the rising cost of living. “We know there are some families living on larger properties in Bands E to H who will also have difficulty, so in the near future we will publish details of a discreet program for which they may be eligible to apply.” Residents of neighboring authorities such as Knowsley have been receiving their payments since late April. Any additional funds not spent by the Liverpool Council will be reimbursed to the UK Government. Read more related articles Read more related articles
