So the discretionary fund is.....**drumroll**.......£100 measly quid!?

I've heard nothing yet (I'm with OVO). I'm on the list of postcodes without gas so hopeful we should get it automatically and not need to apply.

I've had the £200 credited to my Eon Next account, apparently on 12th Feb

I haven't received a notification but just happened to check my account and it's there 

Same happened today for Octopus - no notification but on the account there's this (dated 14th Feb):

HM Government Alternative Fuel Payment:  We credited your account £200.00

I just emailed hi@eonnext to request a refund. Added a brief explanation that my account was in credit and my usage doesn't vary, so I have no need of a large credit balance. Requested the £200 to be returned.

Already had an email back - initially stating they'd need to bill my account up to do date to check that the credit balance is correct. They did this from the smart meter and have processed the refund.

They did say it can take up to two weeks to land in my bank account though!! I'll update when it comes in

Ooh, same here.

So I had to register a password with Octopus. My Bulb account had been closed and passed to them

After a bit of a fiddle I managed to get on to my new account to find £200 had been deposited there on Valentines Day with no fanfare.

The government must love me.

I also had a go at their 'spin the wheel' but no prize this month!

I've received the £200 payment today, directly into my current account from OVO energy.
