Around 900,000 households across the UK can apply for a one-off £400 support payment from today, February 27.
In a bid to help with the rising cost of energy bills, the Government is providing additional support for thousands eligible throughout Edinburgh, with the online application portal launching on Monday.
Households without a direct relationship to an electricity supplier, for example those living in park homes and care homes, can now apply using the online portal. Those eligible will receive a one-off, non-repayable lump sum under the "alternative funding" route of the Government's Energy Bills Support Scheme. Customers can also get assistance with their application if unable to access the online portal.
