£200 AFP deadline 31 May 2023

I had a woodburner installed in my bungalow in October 2021. Bought a huge crate of kiln-dried logs in November 2021. Will need to re-stock soon. Will I be eligible for the £200 AFP if I bulk-buy in April or May 2023 and submit the required receipt before the deadline? Or is this deadline just applicable to supplies bought for winter 2022/23? Many thanks.

  • Assuming you meet the other eligibility criteria, there's nothing anywhere to say you can't do that and it seems perfectly reasonable and fair to do so. You've nothing to lose by trying other than buying your logs sooner than you might otherwise have done. If it was me I'd just go ahead and do exactly what you're suggesting.
