As energy bills continue to rise, millions of households will soon receive a rebate worth £400 applied to their bills.
The money will be added to electricity accounts from October for homes in England, Scotland and Wales.
Equivalent support is expected to be delivered in Northern Ireland as well.
But there are fears that some people will miss out on the help.
For example, if you rent your property and your energy bill is included in your rent, then the money would go to your landlord.
We explain…
Will my landlord pocket my £400 energy rebate?
Put simply, the £400 energy rebate is being applied to every domestic electricity account - not per household.
So if your landlord is in charge of dealing with your energy bill, this means the rebate would technically go to them.
The Government said it expects landlord to pass on this reduction in what they charge you - but campaigners say there is nothing that can force them to do this.
The landlord is only legally allowed to charge the same price they paid, but tenants might struggle to enforce their rights if they think they’re being overcharged.
At the moment, there is no legal mechanism currently in place to make sure landlords to distribute the grant - instead, Citizens Advice recommends considering the small claims court if you think you're being overcharged.
The Government has today announced that further funding will be available for the 1% of households who will not be reached through the energy rebate scheme.
It gave the example of park home residents, and those who do not have a domestic electricity meter or a direct relationship with an energy supplier.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy today told The Mirror that the extra help would only cover those who have a commercial meter or commercial landlord - for example, some housing association tenants.
Citizens Advice suggests more than one in eight private renters - equivalent to 585,000 people - may miss out on vital cost of living support.
This includes the £400 energy rebate and also the Warm Home Discount, which is set to be worth £150 this winter.
Dame Clare Moriarty, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said: “With the price of energy at a record high, it’s vital that government support reaches the people it’s intended for.
“We’re worried that many tenants are falling through the cracks, putting them at risk of missing out on money to help them with soaring bills.
“Renters must be able to take control of their energy payments if they want to, so they can get all the support they need.”
If you rent but you pay your bills separately, so you only pay rent to your landlord, then the £400 discount will be applied to your account as expected.
Some caravan owners and those who live in a boat will also not get the £400 energy help.
The Government has recognised on its website that some people might miss out on the energy rebate.
They advise that they are "exploring the issue" as they "continue to develop the policy".
In the meantime, speak to your landlord if you're struggling.
