hi all
i have read that there will be a £650 payment going out to households in receipt of certain benefits but how does the £400 energy payment work if you are on a prepaid meter?
I have a smart meter so I don’t know how the £400 will be taken off as I don’t pay a bill, I top up as and when needed.
anyone know? I can’t find anything online about it

    If you have a pre payment meter it will either be applied to your meter or you will receive a voucher. It will be paid over a period of 6 months.

    Hi hjford,

    I`ve seen this in a number of places, but could only find this line in an online newspaper:

    "Customers with pre-payment meters will see the money applied to their meter, otherwise they'll get a voucher."
