Energy bill support (and not eligible to receive automatically)
Energy Bill Support Scheme Alternative Funding
Funded by the UK Government, a new scheme launched on Monday 27 February aimed at providing financial support of £400 to eligible households.
You may be eligible to apply if your main home is:
- a residential park home
- on a boat on a permanent residential mooring
- on a permanent Gypsy and Traveller site
- part of a heat network without an electricity meter
- in social or private rented accommodation that has a business energy connection or a communal electricity supply
- off the mains electricity or gas grid
- in a care home or assisted living facility and you pay for some or all of your care
- in a separate domestic home within a non-domestic property (such as a farmhouse or a flat above a shop)
The new scheme will allow eligible households, who have not received the automatic payment, to apply for a one-off payment of £400.
