Energy Bills Support Scheme and Alternative Fuel Payment

The Energy Bills Support Scheme provides a one-off support payment of £400, and the Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) provides £200 for energy bills for households in England, Scotland, and Wales without a direct relationship to a domestic electricity supplier. This support is provided by Central Government and is delivered by local councils. 

Both of these schemes are now closed.
