Government Electricity Rebate
The Government Electricity Rebate is a two year scheme that will provide domestic electricity customers with a £12 rebate on their electricity account in each year of the scheme. The first rebate was paid from October 2014 and the second rebate will be paid from October 2015.
HM Government has teamed up with energy suppliers to deliver the Government Electricity Rebate. Energy suppliers will provide the £12 rebate directly to their domestic electricity customers regardless of payment method.
How will I receive the year 2 rebate?
If you pay for your energy by any method other than a prepayment meter the £12 will be applied as a rebate on your electricity account.
If you are a Prepayment customer you will receive a voucher letter advising you how to claim your rebate. To claim your year 2 rebate, follow these simple steps:
1. Take the voucher letter along with your prepayment key and another form of ID confirming your name and address, to your local PayPoint outlet by 28th February 2016. The voucher will not be valid after 28 February 2016 so it is important that you claim your rebate before then. Examples of acceptable forms of ID include a household bill, bank statement, Council Tax Statement or driving licence.
2. Staff at the PayPoint outlet will scan the voucher on the letter and top-up your prepayment key with £12 rebate from HM Government.
Please note that the voucher cannot be exchanged for cash.
When will you receive your £12?
The year two £12 rebate will be applied to your electricity account during a 7-week period from 11th October – 27th November 2015. If you are a prepayment customer you will receive your voucher letter during this time.
How will I know I have received the £12?
You will see the rebate on your next bill or statement after the rebate has been applied, or you will receive the voucher letter from us if you are a prepayment customer.
How do I find out more information?
The Government Electricity Rebate is a Government scheme being delivered on their behalf by energy suppliers.

Sometime soon we also get the £10 christmas bonus, don't we, or did they knock that on the head this year?
They seem to have kept it quiet!

Re: Winter Fuel Allowance
My friend Joan had her winter bonus last week, she always gets it early, not sure why-her surname begins with S , so its not alphabetical.Its immaterial when I get mine, as it is all acounted for already i will be lucky to have £10.00 left to treat myself to something. !
