I'm with Scottish Power and received my £200 into my bank on the 19th Feb, after receiving an email from Scottish Power on the 15th to say it was on it's way.

 You can find out if your specific postcode is counted as having mains gas or not

https://www.xoserve.com/media/fadn4tnc/off-gas-live-postcodes2022.xlsx?term=Off-gas

That URL has a slight typo...

It should be: https://www.xoserve.com/media/fadn4tnc/off-gas-live-postcodes-2022.xlsx?term=Off-gas

I think that I must be doing something wrong! If I download that spreadsheet, it only shows postcodes beginning with AB…am I missing something obvious?

There are 6706 AB postcodes, that's a lot of scrolling!  Do a search of the spreadsheet for your own postcode (Find and replace, in Google Sheets, you just don't do the 'replace' part of that).

I am with Shell energy and have received nothing They said  they will look into it but have no faith at all. I have checked the postcode file for off gas postcodes and mine is not on it. Assume I have to apply via government portal but doesn’t seem to be open yet. Anyone know when the portal opens?

The latest update on the relevant Govt. website says the application portal should be open in early March.

....or whether that's March this year

I'm also with SP and just spoke to them, they said I have to apply thru the government website as they don't know who is entitled to the payment. They say the portal should be up and running by end of next week...I won't hold my breath
