The vast majority of eligible households will receive the payment automatically
The UK Government has announced that households across Great Britain that are eligible for the £200 Alternative Fuel Payment will start to receive the financial support “as soon as possible” after February 1, 2023. The one-off payment is aimed at helping ease the cost of soaring energy bills this winter.
He indicated that the UK Government will ensure there is a way for affected households to manually apply for the £200 payment. Mr Stuart also confirmed that payments for households in Northern Ireland started at the beginning of January. “There will be a small number of customers who are unable to receive the funding automatically, for instance households without a direct relationship with an electricity supplier, and the Government will ensure there is a route for those households to apply for and receive the £200 support. This support will be delivered in Great Britain as soon as possible after 1st February.”
