From today households can apply through an online portal for a new £400 energy bill support grant. The assistance is set to help more than 900,000 households with their fuel bills this winter.
The one off lump sum is aimed at people who missed out on previous cost of living help with their energy bills but are potentially in need of the help. For those without online access, a dedicated customer helpline is available to assist eligible customers.The government, in a new release today, said that the cash would be paid directly into people’s bank accounts. It’s also available for households who get their energy through a commercial contract or who are off-grid.
“Today I’m urging everyone who couldn’t get their EBSS discounts in the regular way to apply via our secure channels. If you don’t have a direct contract with an electricity supplier, it’s essential you submit your application as soon as possible. The sooner you do, the sooner help can get to you.”Who is eligible? More than £7.
