Who gets the £150?

Around 6 million households will get £150 off their energy bills this winter. Most recipients are on means-tested benefits like Universal Credit or Pension Credit. However, some people with high energy costs but no benefits might still qualify, if their supplier is part of the scheme. Letters confirm eligibility.
