Confusion over the support households are now getting to pay energy bills is rife after the Government ended its Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) this month.
Many people have taken to social media to ask what to expect and some are under the impression that the £67 per month payment, which formed the six instalments of the £400 EBSS, is continuing, blaming 'confusing' reports after Jeremy Hunt's Spring Budget in March.
Some even claim that they have has letters or emails from their energy company confirming that the support is continuing until the end of June, but their hopes are dashed when others tell them that the 'support' referred to is the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) scheme, which is remaining at £2,500 rather than increasing to £3,000 as originally planned.
