Millions to get one-off £100 energy bill payment
currently rely on heating oilThe help will last until April, after which it will be tapered back thanks to the huge cost of helping millions pay their spiralling bills.
The Chancellor said today: "For those households who use alternative fuels such as heating oil and LPG to heat their homes, I am today doubling the amount of support from £100 to £200, which will be delivered as soon as possible this winter. "Before the end of this year, we will also bring forward a new targeted approach to support businesses from next April."
For most Brits on gas and electricity metres, the government will still subsidise some of their bills but not all.While a hike, it is still much less than the £3,700 forecast by Ofgem if there was no cap in place.
