They're awful. Regardless of what the discounts are, I'm sure you pay more for those and only a way of paying for those who can't manage their money. Make your supplier remove it.
Who actually gets the money? I just saw “the poorest” which means not me, but have they said who?
All households to have their £200 energy rebate, which was to be be paid back now cancelled (no need to be paid back), it'll now be doubled to £400 and no need to be paid back. Bascially bills will have £400 knocked off come October 2022.
More than eight million of the lowest income households will receive a £650 one-off payment. It will apply to households on Universal Credit, Tax Credits, Pension Credit and legacy benefits.
So I get fk all then - bloody Tories helping the poor buy a new tele!

Sorry Nick, was supposed to be a joke, but I guess it didn't come over. I imagine it's been discussed in depth on the political thread where they quoted the large tv's for the poor etc the other day, but I daren't venture over there for a while or I'll lose too much time making myself unpopularSurely you would be:
I wasn't trying to make it political, there's a thread for that.
More, how will people get it?

I assume you get a rebate through the energy suppler
Will have to keep an eye out, that's where I wasn't sure how as it's Pay as you Go.
They don't have any bank details for me.
The government's definition of "the poorest" is those on means-tested benefits as opposed to those on contributory benefits such as the state pension who may in reality actually be worse off overall.Who actually gets the money? I just saw “the poorest” which means not me, but have they said who?
Tbf they should start with all pensioners and then move on to the scroungers if there's any left ...The government's definition of "the poorest" is those on means-tested benefits as opposed to those on contributory benefits such as the state pension who may in reality actually be worse off overall.
They will get the £400 + £300 cash I think Potentially the £150 council tax discount . Take your point that some may struggle more with that than others.The government's definition of "the poorest" is those on means-tested benefits as opposed to those on contributory benefits such as the state pension who may in reality actually be worse off overall.
While those on Pension Credit or Universal Credit will get £650 in cash, even if they've never paid a national insurance stamp in their lives.They will get the £400 + £300 cash I think Potentially the £150 council tax discount .

Pensioner income is above working age income on average and almost half the “scroungers” are in work. You really haven’t looked up in the last twenty years have you?

Read somewhere can't find it every household receive £400 pound in 2 seperate amounts first in July second in October in your case (PAYG) it will either be put on your meter or you will receive a voucher. I feel for you my sister in law has had 2 failed attempts just to change her key to a smart one.Me and my better half will get an extra £300 GREAT.How does the £400 thing work? Sadly I am still on PAYG energy as it's been a nightmare trying to change meters.
