The Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) scheme is delivering £200 to eligible households who use alternative fuels such as heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas, coal or biomass.

A small proportion of households who didn’t receive the payment automatically will need to apply for the AFP. Applications for this Alternative Fund opened on 6 March through a GOV.UK portal which includes an overview of eligibility and what steps households need to take to apply for support.
