Landlord Prepaid Electric Cards Re- Energy Bill Discount

TitusKodger

Hi, I buy my electric top-up cards in £5 increments directly from my landlord. Any advice regarding to how I can receive my Energy Bill Discount would be greatly appreciated.  Many Thanks.

This sounds like a private sub-meter belonging to your landlord and in that case you don't qualify for the £400. The landlord might but only for him/herself

The goverment is meant to be looking at how to make these payments to sub-metered households, but there's been no sign of progress on this since the scheme was announced in late September.

And with the not-a-budget announcements, I’m starting to fear they will quietly drop the idea.

I agree that they will likely find a way to quietly drop it, the implementation on the system looks like it would have to be manual and so very labour intensive

This in the "too difficult" basket.   So many possibilites -  who lives in HMO's, caravan sites, mobile homes, boats ......
