The money will be spread over six months but how it is received depends on how you pay your bills.
The government has announced how all households in England, Scotland and Wales will receive £400 to help with rising fuel bills this autumn.Households will see a discount of £66 applied to their energy bills in October and November, rising to £67 a month from December to March 2023.Customers paying by direct debit, either monthly or quarterly, will see an automatic deduction off those bills.
"While no government can control global gas prices, we have a responsibility to step in where we can and this significant £400 discount on energy bills we're providing will go some way to help millions of families over the colder months," said Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng.More than four million households use pre-payment meters in Britain, according to the energy regulator Ofgem. Less than half of those meters - 1.
One person on a "non-smart" prepayment meter is Winston Carrington, a grandfather in his 70s, from Manchester., said he was now spending £5 a day on energy."I'm paying four times the amount I was paying this time last year," he said. The pensioner said he was already trying to save as much energy as possible by turning off "every single appliance" when he leaves his home.Mr Carrington said he was "grateful" for the £400 energy bill discount but was concerned how he might receive his voucher, given the prevalence of scam text messages."We don't want people to miss out on vouchers that could keep them warm in the coldest months of the year," said NEA's head of policy Matt Copeland.
