Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to his Department’s guidance on the Council Tax Energy Rebate, published on 16th March 2022 which states that councils can use the discretionary fund to offer carefully targeted 'top-up' payments to the most vulnerable households in bands A to D, or to offer discretionary support exceeding £150, whether there is an upper limit to the amount that can be paid from that fund to any one household.

The Department has not set an upper limit to the amount that can be paid from the discretionary fund to any one household.
