A discount of £66 will be applied to energy bills in October and November, going up to £67 each month from December through to March 2023.

However, thousands of people will fall through the cracks of the rebate scheme and it could be down to different factors, including how they pay their rent or where their home is.

And despite the government's new Energy Price Guarantee, the average household's annual energy bill is still set to reach £2,500 from October 1.

Households are being urged to do a meter reading ahead of the bill hikes.

By taking meter readings, it will ensure you are billed correctly for your usage up until now ahead of the price rise.

If you don't pay your energy bills directly or you live on a site where the utility is already provided, for example, you won't get the money-off straight away.

For everyone who IS eligible the money will be administered by energy suppliers.

Those with a domestic electricity meter point paying for their energy via standard credit, payment card and direct debit will receive an automatic deduction to their bills.

Traditional prepayment meter customers will be provided with energy bill discount vouchers in the first week of each month, issued via text message, email or post, using the customer’s registered contact details. 

Smart prepayment meter customers will see the energy bill discount credited directly to their smart prepayment meters in the first week of each month of delivery.

Anyone with a second home could find they benefit MULTIPLE times from the scheme, as eligible households will get the discount applied automatically.
