From today (February 27) households can apply through an online portal for a new £400 energy bill support grant. The assistance is set to help more than 900,000 households with their fuel bills this winter.
Today, the new scheme has gone live - and it is aimed at people who don’t directly deal with their energy supplier themselves, but still pay for it. Types of people in this group would be those living in park homes and care homes.
The one off lump sum is aimed at people who missed out on previous cost of living help with their energy bills but are potentially in need of the help. For those without online access, a dedicated customer helpline is available to assist eligible customers.
