  • How does it work if I have two properties in November? As my flat tenancy agreement means I have a second property for 4 weeks? Should I get £66 into the two properties?

    if you have two electricity supplys set up in your name on the qualifying day (which i think someone said is 1 november but i'm not sure. it could be a date in october) then yes the two accounts should both get the credit. if you only move in to your new flat and set up your account on the 2 november or later then probably no. 
    Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.

    My SIL has 2 accounts for her 2 properties on one piece of land with the same address and supplier and has received 2 x £66 even though one of the properties is paying standing charge only with zero use.

    The BEIS guidance for suppliers says the qualifying date is indeed the first of each month
