Does energy payments cover gas

Hello, Does anyone know if the energy payments cover gas as well as electricity, my electricity supplier has the government payments but my gas supplier is a different company which hasn't got the government payments, which would be better. 
Many thanks

    The energy payments only cover your electricity supplier and are provided by your electricity supplier.

    It was administratively easier to distribute the payments via the electricity supplier as most people have an electricity supply. What you do with £400 rebate is up to you.
