Some 28 million households across the UK with a direct domestic electricity contract with their supplier will receive a £400 rebate this winter to help with rising energy bills. The money will be deducted automatically from Direct Debits or smart meters for the next six months, finishing at the end of March 2023.
The first wave of discounts for £66 started in October for most households, however, people living in park homes or those whose energy bills are included in their rental agreement re set to to receive the financial support from the UK Government by the end of the year. People on older-style pre-payment meters are receiving vouchers which they can then top up at any PayPoint.
However, many energy customers may not be aware that when the credit is applied directly to their account, it may be used to clear any arrears they may have or go towards an agreed debt repayment plan.
