Gov energy bills help - moving house

in Energy
Hello,
I currently rent a flat with a prepaid electricity key. So I'm expecting the first call/text/email with the £66 for October soon.
I'm moving house before Christmas and will then go onto a normal direct debit for energy.
How do the moves, both of address and of energy payment type, affect my receipt of the £400?
Do I count as a new household and get the £400 again when I move and sign up as a new customer? Or do I get it monthly on my new bills from the month I move? I've not seen this answered in the media/government comms etc.
Cheers.

It is due to be paid monthly over 6 months at £66/67 month. So, you should get some at your current address & then the remainder at your new address (total £400, you should not get 2x) assuming that you are the account holder.0

You will get the help monthly.

I can't find the source now, but somewhere I read you get the £66/67 for whatever property you're in on the 1st of the month.Barnsley, South Yorkshire
