Help with oil cost April 1 2026

I have just checked again (I monitor the prices every day) The £700+ price is for delivery in 20 days. To get a delivery on Monday would be £898! That is ridiculous 😡

Thanks for sharing, that will be good for people in that area to know. Each council has its own criteria. I now have my voucher codes but have to collect the cash. The one you shared pays into a bank account. That would be much better for me but they said they can't do it.

Peterborough City Council have an on-line form, I applied on Saturday morning and have a code to collect £250 cash from the post office. I will pay it straight into the bank account while I am there.

Criteria was less than £1000 savings. 3 months of statements sent (nobody asked if it was my only account, in my case it is but…)

Proof of quote/order since March 1

Use of heating oil to heat and hot water.

It is crazy, I felt humiliated. I have pension credit and that is supposed to be a qualifying criteria. Bank statements would have nailed it. I even forgot to add the cost of oil! I still haven't been able to collect it and still don't have any oil. I'm glad you were more successful and hope you get an early delivery.
