Millions of energy customers have been told exactly how they will benefit from the new Energy Bills Support Scheme that has been announced by the UK Government in a bid to ease the cost of living crisis. British Gas has written to more than nine million households explaining how the £400 will be paid in instalments as direct payments into their bank account.
The discount is set to be paid in six instalments from October - with £66 monthly payments for the first two months, followed by an increase to £67 in December, January, February and March.
The UK government recently announced the new Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS), which will give around 29 million households in the UK a £400 discount off their energy bills from October.
