Warning to renters as £400 cost of living payment could be pocketed by landlords

An energy discount worth £400 will be applied to the gas and electricity bills of households across the country from October.

The money will be added to gas and electricity accounts for around 28 million homes from October in England, Scotland and Wales. The funding was confirmed earlier this year by Chancellor Rishi Sunak as part of a new £15billion cost of living package.

However, renters should be aware that they may miss out on the help. If you rent your property and your energy bill is included in your rent then the money would go to your landlord, reported The Mirror.
