It is for the energy part, but low incomes also getting £650 in cash.
Personally I do think this is a mistake.
It should at least be some sort of credit against a bill.

People are already means tested for the tax and benefit system so this isnt down to admin cost, and I doubt admin costs 10s of billions either.Is it not? I was under the impression that was what was happening?
as @Jono8 has suggested, the admin of means testing everyone and excluding those who don't strictly need it would probably cost more than just giving it to everyone, particularly given our government's track record for efficiency...

Wonder who can apply for the £400, the home owner, or just anyone living in a property? As I'm living in a friend's 1 bed apartment, paying him rent off course and council tax, but it's all unofficial. Can I apply for it or will he have to..
It would definitely help with the energy bills but £400 is also my usual buy into a poker cash game at the casino...![]()

Predicted nearly 9 million people will hit fuel poverty by the end of the year - guess McDonalds are going to be real busy by your logic.
If it comes off the energy bill I'm gonna be dropping my DD by £50 and having a couple of extra Sir Beer Kormas every month. Seems like the right thing to do...You'd hope this will come off energy bills right? Not cash in the bank!
Totally agree on the stamp duty break.

We deal with it then, politics has nearly always been short term solutions. The government will be hoping things improve enough by then.So, I suppose the question is what happens next year if/when energy bills go up again...
I'd assume it would only be applicable to those who pay for gas/electric. So in your case I guess your friend is paying for gas/electric (regardless of whether you're contributing or not) which would likely mean he'll get a rebate.Wonder who can apply for the £400, the home owner, or just anyone living in a property?
