The Government has also introduced an Alternative Fuel Payment of £200 to support households who are off the gas grid and use alternative fuels, such as heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), coal or biomass, to heat their homes.
Most Alternative Fuel Payments for eligible households in the UK will be received automatically this month via their electricity supplier with no need to take any action.
There are a small number of customers however, who are unable to receive the funding automatically, for instance households in the UK who are in areas on the gas grid but do not have a gas connection.
These customers will be able to do so from today, through the same GOV.UK website by clicking here: https://www.gov.uk/apply-alternative-fuel-bill-support-if-not-automatic.
