Almost a million households can now apply for vital energy bills support with the application portal now open for those eligible across the UK.
The Government announced as part of its cost of living support package that households without a direct relationship with a domestic electricity supplier would receive £400 as part of the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding (EBSS AFF). The one-off lump sump will be paid to the likes of people living in park homes, houseboats, off-grid and care homes.
Those paying their energy bills as part of an all-inclusive rental agreement with their landlord will also be eligible for the payment, which will be delivered through local authorities. The application portal is now live on the gov.uk website, with around 900,000 UK households eligible to apply, the Daily Record reports.
