Those that apply after the new date will receive vouchers instead of a cash payment
The deadline for people in Derby to apply for their council tax rebate payment of £150 has suddenly changed.
Eligible households did have until Sunday 31 July to apply to receive the money, which is designed to help people through the cost of living crisis.The authority said it was making the changes "to ensure it reaches all eligible householders sooner". More than 100,000 Derby households in total are eligible for the payment, with tens of thousands of people already receiving it into their bank accounts.The city council said people who had not replied by 11 July would still benefit, but would get Paypoint vouchers instead, which can be exchanged for money.
But if people still needing to apply would rather have the cash than receive vouchers first up, then they have just days left to apply.
