Warning that families have just hours left to claim up to £600 towards their energy bills

Tomorrow is the last day for thousands of households to claim up to £600 in free cash to help towards their energy bills.

Families living in park homes, houseboats, who pay their landlord directly for their energy or who use alternative fuels for most of their heating have until May 31 to apply for any money they did not receive automatically.

Both schemes were part of a range of cost of living support announced by the Government last year to help families cope with rising energy bills. Most households were paid £400 directly in six payments of £66 or £67 from October to March through the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS). These payments were made automatically to the vast majority of families.
