As the Government's Energy Bills Support Scheme comes to an end, reports of 'confusion' have surfaced with some people taking to social media to ask just what help comes next for their household. Some were under the impression that the £67 per month payment, which formed the six instalments of the £400 EBSS, was continuing.
Despite the £2,500 EPG for the average family, millions of households will be paying more for gas and electricity from this month as the £400 energy rebate scheme has now come to an end. The £400 discount was split up over six months, from October to March, and given to households in instalments of either £66 or £67.As social media comments on the topic took off over the weekend, Chronicle Live reported some of the areas of confusion.
On Energy Support And Advice UK Facebook page, moderators have had to create a 'sticky' post for users after they were inundated by people asking for clarification on whether the payments were continuing. One member said: "I read an email that was sent to my colleague and it was very much worded as if she would continue to receive payments until June. I've told her she won't and that the price cap is extended until that time but the email was very misleading.
"The EPG protects customers in energy costs which limits how much they can charge you per unit of energy used. The EPG has been extended to June. This will bring a typical household energy bill to around £2500 in Great Britain. It’s also VERY important to note this depends on how much energy you use. If you use more than £2,500 you WILL be charged more. It’s important to call your energy supplier and discuss this if you have any concerns or join Energy Support and Advice UK.
