Postcode lottery for £100 energy support

This seems deeply unfair.

Why is it that someone in a £600,000 house in one part of the country is in Band D, and so gets the £100, but someone else in a different part of the country is in a £375,000 house and is in Band E, so wont get the £100?

Is this just bad luck to have a more recently built house, or is it the north-south divide again. Neither of these real properties cost that much when purchased, but only the latter is struggling to pay their bills..

I didn't see this discussed by ML this week.

I can assure you that there are plenty of people in £600K properties in the South who are NOT qualifying for the £100 support payment.

And there will be plenty of people in £600k houses who are struggling with their bills…
