The Energy Bill Support Scheme was announced earlier this year as gas and electric prices soar.
While Liz Truss has announced a £2,500 cap on the price cap, this is still higher than what we are paying now. This new rate will come into force on October 1 - the average household is currently paying a rate of £1,971 a year.
Every household will receive £400 as part of the energy bill support scheme, but it isn't being handed out in one go - it is being issued in installments of around £60 a month until the end of December. This doesn't need to be paid back.
