Households in Northern Ireland will be able to redeem their £600 energy discount voucher at the Post Office
People with no direct debit arrangement and those with a prepaid meter will receive the voucher from their energy supplier which can then be redeemed at their local post office
Direct debit customers will not get a voucher, but will be paid directly into their bank accounts by their suppliers.Those who pay quarterly or use a pre-payment meter - about 500,000 people in Northern Ireland - will receive their vouchers in the post. Chief executive at the Post Office Nick Read said the 500 Post Office branches across Northern Ireland are "preparing for the vital role they will play in getting people the £600 support they are entitled to".
As it is a universal scheme people who pay a bill at a second home, such as a holiday home, will be paid twice.Chris Heaton-Harris says further clarity around the scheme will give reassurance to NI households
