Martin Lewis is urging people to help spread the word about unredeemed energy vouchers for £66 or £67 that were issued between October 2022 and March 2023 to millions of households as part of the UK Government’s £400 Energy Bills Support Scheme. In a special edition of the Martin Lewis Money Show Live this week, the consumer champion warned 1.7 million vouchers have still not been used and will expire at the end of this month.
He urged anyone using a traditional non-smart prepayment meter who may not have received one or more vouchers, or perhaps lost them, or simply can’t remember if they redeemed them, to contact their energy supplier as soon as possible to have them reissued. This is the final chance for anyone to redeem the vouchers, or Martin said the money - roughly £112 million - will go back to the Uk Government.
Martin told ITV viewers: “It’s crucial money for some of the poorest in society.”
