Update: Help with oil and LPG heating costs
09 April 2026
The Welsh Government recently announced that households who rely on heating oil or liquified petroleum gas (LPG) and are eligible for the Council Tax Reduction Scheme will receive a one off payment of £200 to help with rising heating costs.
We are currently waiting for final guidance from the Welsh Government on how the scheme will operate locally and when payments will be made. As soon as we have more details, we will contact eligible households directly.
If you’re struggling with the cost of living, there may be other support available. Visit our Help with the Cost of Living page for more information:https://www.npt.gov.uk/costoflivinghelp
