Has anyone received their £200 alternative fuel payment yet. I’m starting to think it doesn’t exist

My neighbour is with Ovo and got his yesterday. I checked on my account but there is no sign of it. I'm with Good Energy so don't know whether the smaller suppliers are taking longer. I hope we get it soon because my oil tank is getting really low.

Nothing from EDF yet Hmm

I'm with EDF too haven't heard a thing and there is nothing on their website either.

I'm with Ovo and due a bill tomorrow. So imagine it'll be on there.
Whilst I am grateful, I think it's bizarre as oil price is STILL cheaper that 2012/2014 and unlikely to go any higher than currently, hasn't increased like electricity has.

Scottish Power have credited it to my bill.

British gas have just emailed me to say it'll be credited to our account in February so..tomorrow I guess!

Yes us too finally! My mums did get credited to her account last week and she’s with British Gas but it hasn’t then gone into her bank like the other cost of living payments, so hopefully that’s not the case and it then does goes into the bank

I'm going to request it is paid out to us as we're in credit. Otherwise I don't really see how it's going to help towards our next oil delivery seeing as our British Gas DD is the same.

Scottish Power sent the £200 directly into my bank account.

I thought exactly the same. We will still be paying our normal British Gas direct debit, I want the money in my bank so I can buy some oil, as it’s fairly low (not 2021 low) but better than this time last year!
