Anyone had their £200 additional oil/LPG/off grid payment yet?

I had heard they'd be paid from 6th February. Had my £67 electricity payment as usual today from EDF but not the additional £200. We are in a village with no gas supply so should be on the lists that were supposed to have been supplied to the energy companies. Hope we're not going to have to wait until 9th March now as my oil tank is getting low. I only bought 500 litres (instead of 1000) last time as I was hoping the payment would come through before that ran out.

@cptartapp have you checked your eon account? Mine has been paid to that.

Elderflower14 · 18/02/2023 18:23

We got ours from EON Next this week....

@LibertyLily no mains gas here either, also oil c/h. I was expecting the payment to go into my bank but it's been credited to my eon account.

Thanks @Bemyclementine - we don't have an Eon account as such due to still having the previous owner's prepayment meter 😉

Still not received anything in relation to this but guess we might in the next week or so.

@LibertyLily We're in the same position and with Eon. Just a heads up - we've been trying to get them to change the pre-payment meter since we moved in last year with no luck. They're too busy apparently! We've decided to wait until we've received all our energy support payments (because I don't trust them not to mess it up) and then try again...

Yes. Nothing?

Thanks for the heads up @ThroughTheForestUpTheHill....that sounds like a plan, as I can well believe they're so busy they'd balls it up right now!

I live in a village with no gas supply also... We had £200 credited to our EDF
smart meter yesterday

Still nothing from British Gas. I hope it isn’t assumed that since they’re British Gas all of their customers have gas!

I got a email from them last week saying it would be credited to my electric account before end of February

LovedFedAndNoonesDead · 21/02/2023 07:56

Octopus said nothing is showing on their system about payments to off gas postcodes yet and that ‘if no payments are made in the next few months’ to check the .gov website for how to apply - despite the instruction from government to energy providers to make all payments by end of February.

Castleontheisland · 21/02/2023 08:00

No gas supply here and its gone onto my electricity today edf

DieDeutschLehrerin · 21/02/2023 08:05

Ours can through end of last week we are Octopus customers with oil CH in a no gas rural village and ours has gone on to the account so fingers crossed they come through now.

PrettyCherryBlossom · 21/02/2023 08:18

I’m with Outfox the Market for electric but still haven’t received anything. They’ve said it will be paid to my bank account by the end of the month. I hope it comes soon, I really need to fill up.

Will keep an eye out then as we’re on a 1970’s built estate with no gas supply on the entire estate so qualify under postcode. Perhaps they’re adding different postcodes as they go and that’s what the guy from Octopus meant by nothing showing on their system 🤷🏼‍♀️

EDF electricity account finally credited with £200 yesterday and then debited again this morning so I'm guessing it's on it's way to my bank account. I also had an email this morning from EDF telling me I'm eligible for the payment and how it is going to be paid.

Hope everyone else has had theirs too.

Weird I’m with OVO and have been getting the £67 into my bank account. I have oil for my heating no gas mains where I am. According to their website I should have heard from them. Usually we get £67 on 23rd of the month. So I think I’ll hold out until then and then contact them if I don’t hear anything.

Elphame · 21/02/2023 15:18

I've just looked at my Octopus account and found that they deposited £200 there on 14/2/23. I've had no notification of this and I can't see anything on the website either.

It doesn't look if it's going to be paid out to me in cash.

threesenoughthanks · 21/02/2023 15:22

I'm with OVO and had it in my bank account a few days ago.

Badbudgeter · 21/02/2023 16:42

I got an email from Edf to say I’m eligible and will get it in my account before 28th

Tiiire · 21/02/2023 18:58

I'm with Shell for electric and haven't heard anything yet, hopefully soon!

feellikeanalien · 21/02/2023 19:07

I got mine into my Good Energy account today. I have asked them to transfer it to my bank account as I've just ordered some oil and it's not a cost I can just absorb.

Reggiebo · 21/02/2023 19:14

EDF payment has just started. It was showing yesterday. Had an email today. So keep looking.

themuminator · 21/02/2023 19:20

Same email from EDF today, I can see in my account it has been actioned so think it must be on it's way to my bank account.

Really glad of this right now. My flogas price for LPG has gone up and this should cover the increase for a good while (or just pay for 1 of the 4 new tyres I need 😭)

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 21/02/2023 19:26

So exciting! Have just had my BUlb account moved to Octopus - no sign of it yet!!

mickeysmug · 21/02/2023 19:30

I got my £200 via octopus a week ago.
