It found that Welsh Water customers received on average £287 off their bill, and Yorkshire Water tends to give a £228 discount.Cambridge and South Staffs households received discounts of around £58 and £71 respectively.Who is eligible and the level of support you can get varies depending on your water company so it can be a bit of a postcode lottery.
