Energy Bills Support Scheme

Helpline 0800 319 6789      

If you haven’t automatically received the £400 discount on your energy bills, you are advised to apply for it.

The Energy Bills Support Scheme gave a £400 grant to households to help pay for energy bills during winter months in 2022/23. Most households received this support automatically from their energy supplier, but some households may be required to apply for it.

This could be you if, for example:
• you live in sheltered housing, in a park home, in a care home, or off the electricity grid
• you pay for energy through a landlord, housing manager or site owner.
 
The deadline to claim this money is 31st May 2023
