More than eight million UK homes will get the first of two cost-of-living payments totalling £650.
The first of two payments to help the poorest households with the cost of living will hit people's bank accounts from 14 July, the government says.
In May, the energy regulator Ofgem said the typical household energy bill was set to rise by £800 in October, bringing it to £2,800 a year. Bills had already risen by £700 on average in April. "We have a responsibility to protect those who are paying the highest price for rising inflation, and we are stepping up to help," said Chancellor Rishi Sunak.It announced the policy in May as part of a suite of measures to tackle the soaring living costs. This followed intense pressure on the government to do more to help people.
