Update: Government Support
We have just been made aware via UKIFDA that a Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy minister has confirmed to MPs that the Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment of £200 will be made in the New Year. The payment mechanism for most customers continues to be through their electricity bills with additional information expected shortly.
This extra clarity is important as it means customers can plan their budgets accordingly.
We continue to strongly advise customers to purchase their heating oil as usual ahead of the cold weather and seasonal rush.
