British Gas explains how customers will get £400 energy bill discount

British Gas has explained how millions of households all across the UK will soon receive a £400 discount on their energy bills.

The discount will not be paid in one lump sum, and will instead be spread out via six instalments that will begin to be paid from October. On its website, British Gas states that in October and November, households will receive £66 while December, January, February, and March will see instalments of £67 respectively.

British Gas also explains that even if your bill happens to be less than £66 a month you will still receive the same amount while being allowed to carry on the discount to pay for electricity after March 2023 until it's all used up. It also explains that around nine million customers in the UK who pay by direct debit will receive the refund straight into their bank account once the original payment has gone through.
