Hundreds of thousands of households across the UK will be able to apply for a £400 boost later this month.
While domestic households with a direct relationship with their electricity supplier will get the non-repayable payment automatically, in six instalments under the Energy Bills Support Scheme as part of the UK Government’s £37 billion cost of living support package, others will have to manually claim the financial help.
People living in park homes, houseboats, off-grid, or who pay their energy bills as part of an all-inclusive rental agreement with their landlord, will need to apply for a one-off payment of £400 from the Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding, which will then be paid directly to them by their local authority.
