People urged to reapply for £67 energy voucher as one in five top-ups from December not used
People using prepayment meter are being urged to reapply for energy support vouchers after it emerged that one in five households did not redeem their £67 December Energy Bills Support Scheme top-up before they expired. PayPoint sent out hundreds of thousands of vouchers at the start of December as part of the UK Government-backed scheme to help people with their rising energy bills this winter.
Later it became clear that bills would rise even further and would have hit close to £4,300 for the average household had the UK Government not stepped in with more support. PayPoint corporate affairs and marketing director Steve O'Neill said: "EBSS redemptions are still at a level we would expect compared to similar Government schemes, such as the Warm Home Discount.
