Around 900,000 households will be able to access the £400 energy bill help at the end of February rather than at the end of January as originally planned.
The UK Government has announced that the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding application portal is expected to be up and running by Monday, February 27, 2023.
Once the online hub and telephone helpline opens, households without a direct relationship with a domestic electricity supplier can apply for their £400 energy payment.
