The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has shared an update on when households will get the £400 discount on their energy bills.
Millions of people across Scotland and the UK on a low income will receive £1,200 in total from the government to help with cost of living crisis, while all domestic electricity customers will get £400 off of their energy bills. The energy bill discount will be distributed between October 2022 and March 2023.
Approximately 29 million households throughout the UK will receive financial support through the Energy Bills Support Scheme. The discount will be applied automatically, meaning that you do not need to apply for it.
