Households across the country are set to receive £400 of Government support to help with soaring energy costs starting next month.
Households will not receive a one-off payment, instead they will see £66 taken off their energy bills in October and November, and £67 between December and March, the Government said.British Gas, the country’s biggest energy supplier, are asking customers who pay by direct debit to pay as normal. Those who pay by direct debit should continue to pay as normal and will then see monthly payments made directly to their bank account.
If their bill comes to less than £66 or £67 a month, the bills will be reduced to £0 and money will be added to their account as credit.The six payments will be added to your Utilita account as credit over the next six months, meaning your bill is reduced.
