Warm Home Discount Scheme with Prepaid Meter?
My elderly mum has just received a letter from the government Warm Home Discount Scheme informing her that she is entitled to £130 discount from her electrical supplier.
Problem is that she is on a prepaid meter. I don't believe that this scheme pays out via cheques, so any idea how this will work on a prepaid meter?

Can only comment on how BG do it but i imagine it's all pretty much the same. The customer will get a letter once the money has been allocated to their electric account with a barcode, they take this to where ever they normally top up their meter and have it scanned, this will place £130 credit on the meter.
Having a prepay meter will not cause any issues with your mother getting her payment.I am an employee of British Gas but all views i write are personal and not a reflection of my employer.0
