***BREAKING: ENERGY SUPPORT UPDATE***
Dear <<First Name>>,
 
This is a quick message to alert you to of the latest announcements with regards to support for energy users.

The Government has opened access to those households who have previously been unable to access the £400 grant to assist every household with energy bills.

If you have a family member or friend yet to receive this detail, then please do share this information with them.
Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS AF)
Most households with a direct relationship with an electricity provider have been receiving reduction to their electricity bills in instalments. 
 
From last week households in South Shropshire who are yet to benefit from the £400 can now apply for the government’s support for energy bills, as an online application portal is open for those who do not have a direct relationship with an energy supplier.
 
Applications can be made here: www.gov.uk/apply-energy-bill-support-if-not-automatic. To receive the support, you need to apply online using the above link or, if you do not have access to the internet, by calling 0808 175 3287.
 
You may be entitled if you live:
  • in a park home or care home
  • on a houseboat
  • in a mobile home
  • on a farm
  • or off the electricity grid
Alternative Fuel Payment
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.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

With kind regards,

Philip
