Individuals and families who are pre-payment meter customers can apply for grants of up to £2,000 to clear domestic gas and electricity debts. The Individual and Families Debt Write-Off Fund, administered by the British Gas Energy Trust, provides eligible customers with a grant to clear outstanding arrears with their energy supplier.
Any British Gas and non-British Gas customer in England, Wales and Scotland who has sought money or debt advice and not received a grant from the Trust in the past 2 years is eligible to apply for the support. However, customers of Eon, Eon Next, EDF, Scottish Power, and Octopus should apply to their respective funds. The Fund will close when all funding has been awarded.
