LAST week, the government announced EVERY household in the UK will get a £400 discount on their energy bills, but some people could miss out.
Thousands of people fall through the cracks of the rebate scheme and it could be down to how they pay their rent or where their home is based.
Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, announced the help last Thursday, as part of a bumper package of support designed to aid Brits with the spiralling cost of living crisis.
And energy bills are only set to go up more in just months, adding further strain to household finances.
Ofgem has warned that bills could hit £2,800 in October, as plenty of other costs soar too.
So the money off will help some households from having to make the choice between heating and eating in the harshest months of the year.
It’s replacing the original £200-off that was planned for October this year.
But that help was designed to be paid back, in £40 instalments over the next few years.
As cost of living pressures mounted, Mr Sunak made the decision to instead double the payment while announcing it WON’T have to be paid back this time round.
