Consumer champion Martin Lewis says a £200 energy payment should not have been made to most eligible households. An Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) is being rolled out to support people who are not connected to the main gas grid and who therefore use alternative fuels to heat their homes.
This could include oil, wood and liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Martin Lewis has now told listeners of his BBC Radio 5 Live podcast that automatic payments should now have been made to households with a direct electricity connection to their supplier. Payments began on February 6 and were expected to be completed by the end of the month, reports the Daily Record.
