The British Gas Trust has reopened its Energy Support Fund to help British Gas customers in England, Scotland and Wales who are struggling to pay their energy bills. The fund, which was set up in response to the rising cost of living and inflation, will provide eligible customers with grants of up to £2,000 to help clear outstanding arrears. British Gas customers with credit or pre-payment meter accounts who have sought money or debt advice, and not received a grant from the Trust in the past twelve months, are eligible to apply for support. Applications take up to four weeks to be assessed. The fund will remain open until all available funds have been awarded.
