There is currently confusion among households after the government decided to end its Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) this month. It has led to many people to take to social media to clarify exactly what they can expect in the future, as a considerable amount were under the impression the the payment would be continuing.
The payment itself, which was split into £67 a month, totalled £400. But the ChronicleLive reports that many households are blaming 'confusing' reports following Jeremy Hunt's Spring Budget last month.
Some even claim that they have received letters or emails from their energy company to confirm that the support would be continuing until the end of June. This 'support', however, references the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) scheme, which is remaining at £2,500 rather than increasing to £3,000 as originally planned.
