If you use alternative fuels to heat your home, you may be entitled to £200 in energy support - and the deadline for applying for this help is fast approaching.
There are just days left to apply for the Alternative Fuel Payment, which is available if you use tank or bottled gas, liquid petroleum gas, oil, wood or solid fuel.
Around two million people across the UK use these types of fuel as the main way to heat their homes.
Most of these households should have automatically received Alternative Fuel Payment automatically in February.
But if you didn't, the deadline for applying is this Wednesday (May 31) and applications will close on this day.
You can apply to get the £200 payment on the Gov.uk website, or by calling 0808 175 3287 (0808 175 3894 in Northern Ireland).
You should receive an email or letter within six weeks of applying, confirming whether you'll get the payment.
If you are eligible, the money will be sent as a bank transfer.
You’ll need to provide proof of the alternative fuels you’ve purchased since June 1, 2022, totalling at least £200.
The Alternative Fuel Payment is on top of the £400 energy bill support you should have received from your electricity supplier.
If you live in Northern Ireland, you should have got £600, made up of the £400 energy bill support and £200 Alternative Fuel Payment.
The deadline for applying for the £200 payment comes as Ofgem announced its price cap will fall to £2,074 a year for the typical household from July.
The majority of households are currently covered by the Energy Price Guarantee, which has set the average energy bill at £2,500 a year.
This means the typical household will see their energy bill fall by £426 a year from this summer.
But there isn't actually a total cap on how much you can pay for energy.
What the Ofgem price cap does is put a limit on how much you can be charged for unit rates and standing charges.
