The Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding launched on 27th February providing 3 months for eligible applicants to apply before the 31st May deadline, which the Government believes is sufficient time for households to claim their support. As such, there is currently no proposal for the deadline for the scheme to be extended. The closure date for the scheme has now been included on the GOV.UK webpage.
