Low Income and Govt Energy Help and Scammers

From April the £66/67 per month will end.  I found the Govt link to extra help after this. How will it be paid.  I'm worried as there are so many scam emails asking for my details.

So, where's the link?

Sorry - I'll try to do it.

I think you mean this? The £900 announced last year and the payment dates confirmed in February.

It will be paid to those in receipt of relevant benefits and will be paid via the benefits system. There will be no application system and no need to provide additional details beyond those already required by the benefits system.
