Over £100 million worth of energy bill support is yet to be claimed as the deadline rapidly approaches.
The Energy Bill Support Scheme offered vouchers to billpayers using non-smart prepayment meters between October 2022 and March 2023. The vouchers can provide up to £400 worth of discounts for energy bills.
While people using smart meters or paying via direct debit received their discount automatically via six instalments of £66/67 throughout the winter, traditional prepayment meter users received vouchers via text, email or post. These vouchers could then be redeemed at their usual top-up shop.
