£100 Household energy paymentThe government has announced a one-off £100 household energy payment for eligible households in council tax bands A to D.
If you pay your council tax by Direct Debit, you do not need to apply. If you're eligible, the £100 payment will be paid automatically into your bank account.
Not paying by Direct Debit? Set one up today to make receiving your payment quicker and easier.
This guidance applies to all Ukrainian nationals who have been granted permission to enter or remain in the United Kingdom under the Government’s Homes for Ukraine Scheme.

- the full address of the property
- the names of the Ukrainian refugees residing at the property

Important information about UPE visa holders
Please note that individuals who hold a Ukraine Permission Extension (UPE) visa are not entitled to a council tax reduction where they are living independently (for example, as tenants or sole occupiers of a property).
Council tax discounts related to the Homes for Ukraine Scheme apply only in specific circumstances and are not automatically granted. Each case will be assessed based on the individual circumstances and the relevant legislation.
