Discretionary Energy Grant
Those eligible have been invited to apply. This application is to be used once you have received a written invitation to apply. The Invitation letter contains the relevant information you will need to complete this form.
The application form will not complete if your address is not entitled to a grant.
To make the claim you must have the consent of all residents in the household who are named on the Council Tax bill. Only one application and grant can be made for your address.
To make this application you will need your Council Tax Reference and the Grant Invitation Reference from the letter or email we sent you. Please have your bill and invite to hand to hand for ease of reference.
You Must submit the claim under the exact name details as printed on your Council Tax Bill.
You must provide: -
Your date of birth and a contact telephone number/email address & your bank detail so a payment can be made by BACS to your bank account.
You MUST upload a copy of a bank account statement issued in the last 60 days showing your name & address.
If your statement does not show your name and your address, you will need to upload an image of another form of identity that validates your name and address such as a UK Driving Licence or official letter from a Government Department such as HMRC/DWP or the NHS. This must be dated in the last 60 days. These documents will be used to prevent fraud or another person claiming the Energy Rebate.
The grant will only be paid after the application is vetted and approved and will be subject to checks to prevent fraud. The payment will only be paid to a UK Bank account held by the claimant and will be paid by BACS (automated bank transfer). The Council is obliged to validate individuals bank details as part of its duty to deter, detect and prevent fraud and the details will be subject to a check by an automated bank validation and payment processing service.
When payments are made on validated cases, we will not be issuing any message/letters. The payments will be made via Bacs & your bank account statement will show this payment as LBTH Council Tax.
