Glasgow households have been told to claim the energy vouchers
Glaswegians are being urged to take action on any unclaimed prepayment meter energy vouchers amid the increase in the cost of living.
Advice Direct Scotland , which runs the national energy advice service energyadvice.scot, have urged households to take action - even if their vouchers have expired.Households with traditional prepayment meters should have received five of six vouchers under the UK Government’s Energy Bill Support Scheme to date, with prepayment vouchers only valid for 90 days.
Most households will have £400 automatically taken off their electricity bills in six instalments across the winter, or will have the money added to their accounts. However, those on traditional prepayment meters need the vouchers to get the discount.Some suppliers allow customers to transfer Support Scheme payments from electricity to gas meters.
“If haven’t received your vouchers or have any that have expired, you should get in touch with your energy supplier or Advice Direct Scotland’s advisers.
