Are you or someone you know eligible for financial support towards energy bills?

The Government’s Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding (EBSS AF) is offering a £400 payment for households which did not receive the original help to pay for the cost of energy, such as those without their own electricity meter or without a direct relationship to an electricity supplier.

This includes people who live in care homes or park homes, and tenants who pay for energy through a landlord on a commercial supply. It also covers homes on a private electricity network, off-grid households and farmhouses used for domestic purposes.

Households that do not use mains gas and use an alternative fuel such as oil, biomass and bottled gas may also be eligible for an additional £200 Alternative Fuel Payment (ATP).

Executive member for corporate services, Cllr David Chance, said: “We are urging residents to check if they’re eligible for this latest much-needed offer of financial help amid the cost-of-living crisis.

“The alternative funding package aims to help households which were not eligible for the original support scheme, and it only takes a few minutes to complete the online form."
