What to do if you don't get the £400 energy bill discount - and who is eligible

The new "Energy Bills Support Scheme" is a payment being made to every household to counter the huge rise in energy bills.

Back in February, we were initially told this would be £200 and would be a loan rather than a grant, so we’d all have to repay the cash over five years.

Within weeks, it was clear that this wasn’t going to be nearly enough to counter the huge projected rise in energy bills.
