Households in Northern Ireland will receive a single non-repayable payment totalling £600 to help with their energy bills, regardless of how they heat their home.
The payment is made up of the Energy Bills Support Scheme (£400) and the Alternative Fuel Payment (£200), and will be provided by the UK government through electricity suppliers.
The payment is automatic. If you get a message asking for your bank details or personal information, or to phone a number or click on a link, this could be a scam. You can report messages you think are suspicious.
If you pay by direct debit or use a keypad meter, suppliers should have all the information they need to get your payment to you.
