Britons with prepay meters urged to use vouchers as £160m goes unclaimed

Households with analogue meters have until 30 June to claim discounts of up to 400 on energy costs

Ministers have urged households using prepayment meters to redeem vouchers offering support for their energy bills, as the government said 160m remained unclaimed.

Households with traditional analogue prepayment meters are entitled to claim discounts of up to 400 on their energy costs under the energy bills support scheme, which is open until 30 June.
