Payments began last month
Consumer champion Martin Lewis says a £200 energy payment should not have been made to most eligible households. An Alternative Fuel Payment is being rolled out to support people who are not connected to the main gas grid and who therefore use alternative fuels to heat their homes.
This could include oil, wood and liquid petroleum gas . Martin Lewis has now told listeners of his BBC Radio 5 Live podcast that automatic payments should now have been made to households with a direct electricity connection to their supplier. Payments began on February 6 and were expected to be completed by the end of the month, reports the Daily Record.But the founder of MoneySavingExpert.com said this may not be the case and depends on how you pay your energy bills.
Martin Lewis said: "The vast majority of eligible households using oil, coal, LPG and biomass will not need to take any action to receive the support, but a small proportion will need to apply for it." The UK Government produced a list of eligible Meter Point Administration Numbers , with electricity suppliers being told to pay those customers.
