You do not need to claim for this grant if you are paying council tax in bands A,B,C, and D, it will automatically paid into your bank, if you have any query with regard to this rebate you should contact Somerset West and Taunton District Council direct, and totally ignore and delete anything that is supposed to come from “ofgem”.
