Residents of England, Scotland and Wales who live in park homes or care homes, as well as people who pay their home energy bills to a commercial supplier, may be eligible to receive £400 financial assistance. Applications are now open and you can apply online.
If you are based in England, Scotland or Wales and use alternative fuels such as heating oil or biomass, you will receive an extra £200 payment. This will be paid via your energy supplier, as a lump sum payment and should be received automatically as a credit on your electricity bills from Feb 2023. If you don’t get it automatically, you may have to apply for this through the Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) Fund. Applications will be open in early March.
