District Council urges residents to apply for additional energy bill support scheme
Applications to the Government's Energy Bill Support Scheme – Alternative Funding (EBSS AF) went live on Monday, 27 February, to provide certain households with further help towards their energy costs.
Huntingdonshire District Council is urging residents to apply for the EBSS Alternative Funding if they are eligible.
EBSS Alternative Funding means that households who didn't receive the original energy bills support, such as those without their own electricity meter or without a direct relationship to an electricity supplier, can receive a £400 support payment. More »
Households eligible to apply for support under EBSS Alternative Funding include park home residents, tenants who pay for their energy through a landlord with a commercial supply, partly and wholly self-funded care home residents, houseboats on residential moorings, households on a private electricity network, off-grid households, traveller households on authorised sites and domestic farmhouses paying on a commercial supply.
If you don't heat your home with mains gas and use an alternative fuel which could include oil, biomass and bottled gas, you might also be able to get an additional £200 payment, known as the Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP).
Residents can apply for the EBSS Alternative Funding and AFP via the gov.uk website until Wednesday 31 May. A dedicated helpline is also available for residents who need support to complete an application or cannot apply online. The freephone number, 0808 175 3287, is open from 8.00am - 6.00pm, Monday to Friday.
Once an application has been made, The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) will make a series of checks. Once those checks have been completed, the details are then given a final check by Huntingdonshire District Council to ensure that the resident lives at the address they have provided. You will be told about the progress of your application by email or letter. You should get a response within six weeks. If you are eligible, we will arrange a one-off payment. You do not need to repay this money.
Full eligibility criteria and further information is available on the Government website.
Executive Councillor for Customer Services, Councillor Stephen Ferguson, said: "We are pleased to be able to provide more much-needed help to certain households within the district.
"Households within Huntingdonshire who didn't receive the original energy bills support the usual way, such as those without a direct contract with an electricity » Less
