A payment will be issued to households in the UK later this year to help with soaring energy costs amid the cost of living crisis. A rebate worth £400 will be applied to gas and electricity bills for around 28 million homes across the country from October.
The funding was announced earlier this year by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who has just recently resigned from his role in the Cabinet, as part of a new £15 billion package to aid the cost of living.
However there will be thousands of people that will miss out on the help being provided by the government, as the energy pay out is being applied to every gas and electricity account, not per household.
