Will I get a £100 energy payment and when will I get it?

The money will appear in the bank account which you pay council tax with from the start of January.

Students living in halls will not get the payment because student halls are not in council tax bands A to D.

However, if you're a student living in a property which is council tax bands A to D, as in a private home or flat let out by a landlord, you will get the payment.

Students do not pay council tax, so the money cannot go straight into the account they pay council tax with.

As such, the government said the local authority will be responsible for finding a way of giving the payment to the students.
