Energy Grant

chriss1e

The government has said everyone is to get £400 grant from their energy provider
What happens to those of us who live on Residential park sites,we buy our energy from the site owner
Surley there must be a provision for us There are a lot of Residential sites in the UK and mostly  the older generation who live on them and a lot of them only have the state pension to live on ,we are also struggling with energy bills we cannot go to the site owner and say we cannot afford to pay our bills 
Can some one look at this and let me know what provision we have regarding this £400

Unfortunately, as things stand the £400 goes only to individual domestic energy supplies so you won't receive the payment. Your landlord is almost certainly on a commercial energy contract and they won't be getting it either.

Things may change (fingers crossed for you), but I wouldn't hold your breath.

That's ridiculous people with high earnings even Boris and his gang will get it ,yet a lot of old people on Residential sites won't 
They have really thought this one out

You could contact your local MP and lobby them, get all permanent residents on the site to do so.

There are lots of people who won't get this - some landlords implement sub-meters which residents pay for their electricity by - they won't get it either.

This is what I'd be doing.

Interesting post. I just raised the issue at my park site office who very clearly advised me that I will not receive the grant. Having read this post I have now written to my MP. Lets hope this gets raised and resolved.

They have designed the implementation of the grant system based on the ease, and cost, of administering it.

I don't think they are intentionally punishing any one group.

At this stage I think there is hope this is something that simply wasn't considered and that a way to manage this may yet be found.

The problem will be that if they expand it, it'll probably capture second holiday homes as well, like static caravans - politically that wouldn't go down well.

But these are not  second homes we live on  these Residential park home sites,they are not holiday homes 
Rishi Sunak has not thought this out at all people who dont need this money will get it those on  high incomes 
He said every one will recieve this money but clearly everyone won't
