Cost of living: Households urged to cash in £130 million of unused energy vouchers before deadline soon

Households with prepayment meters are being urged to make sure they have cashed in energy vouchers before the deadline in just a few weeks’ time. The Government said that while more than four in five vouchers have been used, £130m is still available.

The voucher boost, which was launched as part of the Energy Bills Support Scheme last year, aims to provide support of £400 per household. If there are any issues with their vouchers, customers are being told to contact their electricity supplier over the next few weeks.
