Households can still claim savings of up to £400 off their energy bills under the UK Government-funded scheme.
The UK Government is urging households on traditional prepayment meters to redeem their Energy Bill Support Scheme vouchers, as new data reveals that £160 million in crucial financial support remains unclaimed. So far, some £620 million has been redeemed under the discount scheme which provided a £66 or £67 monthly discount on energy bills between October 2022 and March 2023.
The EBSS, together with the cap on energy prices, saw the UK Government cover half of a typical household energy bill over the winter - driving forward its priority to halve inflation. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics revealed that Consumer Prices Index inflation fell to 10.1 per cent in March from 10.4 per cent in February.
“The government stepped in to provide vital support to households across the country, with £780 million in support delivered to prepayment meter customers. But there’s still £160 million of that yet to claim which will make a huge difference. “It's important to check any post you have at home to ensure you haven't missed any vouchers. They are valid for three months but if you have expired vouchers you should contact your electricity supplier and ask for a new one to be sent out."
