Loads of money? 2x21p/hr=42p/h may sound good, but in this mild weather, the Air Source Heat Pump is only costing 21p/hr average (average 0.48kW input) to heat the whole farking house and the hot water tank. Cost a bit more than 25.98 to buy, granted, (including grants). So you save on the purchase price but get stung on the usage.

Advice please.
I know someone who is on a prepayment meter for their gas.
Their supplier is British Gas. The lady says she has not received
any of the £400 payment ( £66 x 6)
Do BG pay into a customers energy account or directly into a bank account.

First advice would unfortunately be to contact BG to ask them, Octopus appear to be receiving it on our behalf & making the adjustments, I would have thought the providers are being paid on each MPAN number they hold on their registers. But the whole scheme is cockeyed so anything is posible

Credit onto the meter, you sure about that jody ? this could explain why the lady in question says she hasn't received any payments.
If they are not ' meter savvy ' the credit could get used up very quickly without them knowing it was there. Is that feasible ?

Ok, I think I have sorted it. Apparently BG credit the monthly payment on the the Electricity prepayment meter only. The person in question didn't know this.
Seems a pretty stupid / lazy way to apply these payments. Most people use gas to keep warm.

I know someone that works for Ofcom.
They said that the government's payments are only towards the electricity bill.
He himself had to go back to work in the office, because he can't afford the gas heating, while he's much in credit with his electricity supplier
(pre- pay meters for both)
Of course, if you are on a dual fuel DD the £ 66 are applied to the whole of the account.

Yes, some companies into bank accounts, some, mine is Octopus paid into my energy account. It is up to the energy companies how they handle these payments.

A good proportion of a basic state pension.
We are not "hard up" by any means but the figures are frightening, should I be happy that we planned for our future and can stand on our own two feet and struggle on to pay the bills or should we have frittered it away at the bookies etc and then held our hand out.
Does make you wonder who has it right.
