£200 payment oil/biomass

Just incase anyone hadn’t heard about the government paymet for oil heating /biomass properties … some might need to apply for it. It’s due next month. I only recently found out about it.

The government is also providing a further £200 Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) to help those households in Great Britain who use alternative fuels such as biomass or heating oil to meet energy costs this winter. Most households eligible for the AFP support in Great Britain, will receive payment automatically via their electricity supplier in February, with no need to take any action. Those households who will need to apply for the AFP, for example because they do not have a relationship with an electricity supplier, will be able to do so in February, through the same GOV.UK portal as the one that will be used to apply for support under the EBSS Alternative Funding scheme.

Thank you for posting this. I spoke to our electricity supplier, they apparently get a list from the government, which we weren't on. I have just applied via the government web site. Uploaded a photo' of our oil bill. Hopefully £200 winging it's way to our bank account.
Huge thanks to Ricco12

Hours online to Ovo for the eventual customer service rep to advise that Ovo won't be making any of the payments and directed me to the (wrong) portal. Not impressed.

Has anyone who applied via the portal received a payment from their Council yet? I received an email that I would hear from them within 6 weeks (which isn't until next week) but I am just a bit eager.
