Some households were not eligible for the money but get the money through an alternative scheme.
Farm households which were not previously eligible for energy support payments will now receive funding to help with costs.When the payments began to roll out, many farmers found they were not eligible because their home electricity is supplied on a business tariff.Now an alternative funding scheme has been set up to allow farming households to get the same support as those on domestic tariffs.
The £600 energy vouchers are to help homes across Northern Ireland struggling with the cost-of-living "The UFU has been working with government to ensure that all farm dwelling houses could be catered for regardless of what electricity tariff they're on," said Ulster Farmers' Union deputy president William Irvine.
He added that the organisation was encouraging members who missed out on support through the initial scheme to apply for the alternative funding scheme when it opens later in February.the Post Office saidThe vouchers are being posted out in tranches, which started mid-January and will run until the end of February.
