Advice Direct Scotland is urging Scottish households using a prepayment meter for gas or electricity to redeem energy rebate vouchers before the end of the month before the £66 October top-ups expire.
The monthly vouchers are part of the UK Government’s £400 Energy Bills Support Scheme aimed at helping an estimated 29 million households combat rising fuel bills. Almost one in five households across Scotland use a prepayment meter for all or part of their energy supply.
Scotland’s national energy advice service is also reminding people to take action if they have not received their vouchers yet. The UK Government has previously said that energy suppliers are being monitored for scheme participation and must make at least three separate attempts to contact customers about vouchers, especially if they have not been redeemed.
