Government provides more detail on £200 Alternative Fuel Payment

24/01/2023

The government yesterday provided more guidance regarding the £200 alternative fuel payment which will start to be processed from February 6^th..

Heating oil customers should be aware of the following:

Customers have been identified using an off the gas grid database and recent census information.

The majority of customers will receive their £200 automatically via their electricity supplier starting on February 6, in a similar fashion to other recent government payments (direct debit, credit to account or voucher).

There will be some small exceptions – for example customers that don’t have an electricity account or those that use oil but live in a gas grid area. These customers will need to apply via an online portal which will be open in February alongside a post code checker.

We expect further information closer to February 6^th and will continue to update customers.

Households seeking more information on AFP or on wider Help For Households support schemes should visit https://helpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk.
