I am delighted to inform you that the Government portal for the Alternative Fuel Payment is now up and running. This is great news for eligible households who use alternative fuels such as heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), coal or biomass to heat their homes. The £400 payment will ensure that these households do not face a higher rate of growth in their heating costs since last winter.
I strongly encourage all eligible constituents to apply for the Alternative Fuel Payment through the Government portal as soon as possible. The process is straightforward and quick, and the payment will be processed by local authorities and go out as soon as possible in February. If you are unsure whether you are eligible for the payment or have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact with my office.
