On Monday 27th February 2023, Government launched its online service to apply for the £400 discount on energy bills via the Energy Bills Support Scheme – Alternative Fund (EBSS-AF). Eligible homes include ‘if your main home is a residential park home’ and if energy bills are paid to the park owner.

Homeowners and tenants on a residential park need to apply for the support and provide the following information:

• an email address and phone number (if they have one)
• bank account details (a UK current account in their name)
• if not registered for Council Tax, proof of address (such as a bank statement, Written Statement or tenancy agreement) will be required.

HOW TO APPLY

The online application form is available here. There is a helpline number tel: 0808 175 3287 if homeowners or tenants are not able to apply online (available Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm).
