I noticed today that the information has changed on the .Govt webpage covering the £200 AFP
https://www.gov.uk/get-help-energy-bills/alternative-fuels
Not sure when it changed, but it previously said that f you weren't getting the automatic payment then manual applications would open towards the end of February.
For those of us who are having to apply manually, lets hope there are no further delays

Suppliers have until the end of the 28th to pay the vast majority of AFPs, so it makes sense that manual applications cannot open before that.0 -
No, I'm definitely talking about the £200 payment. The wording has changed on the link I pasted. I have been checking the page on an almost daily basis in the hope that a link would be provided for manual applications once available.0

Fair enough. I would venture that they were wrong to say end of Feb in the first place then, for the reason mentioned above.0

Hopefully it's something like send a bill in for an alternate Fuel purchase in the past 12 months rather than getting the local council involved.
Does anyone know for sure0
