Ours was paid into the bank last Friday. No letter was sent or anything.

I note that some councils have now started sending out to people this £150. to assist towards increased fuel charges. They are doing so by sending the money to the bank accounts from which they get their Council Tax paid.

I have understood that everybody is entitled to this assistance - even those of us who are exempt from paying Council Tax due to being on guaranteed Pension Credit.

Just wondering how people like myself will receive this money - or do we have to make a claim for it.

I have just submitted a query form to my local council and look forward to their reply - but wondered if anyone had any further information.
