Fixed contract electricity and 'the' £400 for all.

[Dave in Wales]

Cant seem to find answer to this.

We entered into a 2 year contract in Sept 21, will we be eligible for the £400 and how will it be paid.

It's a grant not cash payment, and our annual bill is only 12 x £55 = £660

We don't have gas, we heat with oil

You might even get more than that Dave us o.a.p’s are supposed to be getting extra .. but have no fear whatever we are given will be extracted back at a higher rate later .. you know the old saying ..beware of geeks bringing gifts .. and that’s NOT a misspelling

Yes us wrinklies are getting an extra £300 , is that as well as the £200 winter fuel payment or is it topping up the WFP to £300.
If it is as well as ,I am not complaining as £400 ( credit on the fuel bill) +£200+£300+£150 council tax rebate all in the bank for when the cap increases.

And do you honestly believe that they haven’t already worked out a claw back for it

I think you will have to wait until they finalise the details but so far it applies to any household with an electricity supply. Good timing on taking out your contract.

Have a look here https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2022/05/rishi-sunak-martin-lewis-living-costs/ scroll down a bit to see the details of how the £400 will be paid.

If that £300 is correct I should be getting £600. Over 80's get £300 not the £200.
