SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has expressed alarm at reports that landlords are claiming energy support payment vouchers intended for tenants.
In a statement issued through the party on Friday, Mr Eastwood says some constituents had contacted his office for help after their "vouchers were taken". He said the vouchers were intended to help people with their energy bills and should be going to those who need them most.
"I am deeply alarmed after having people visit and contact my constituency office seeking assistance after their landlord claimed their £600 energy support payment voucher and told them they were the ones entitled to it," the Foyle MP said.
