Off grid heating fuel support scheme
Overview
The Welsh Government has allocated £3.8 million to help households in Wales who rely on heating oil or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
A one-off £200 payment is now available to low-income households in Neath Port Talbot who heat their homes using heating oil or LPG.
Eligibility
You may qualify if you:
- use heating oil or LPG as your main heating fuel
- are living in the property as your main or only home
- are entitled to the Council Tax Reduction Scheme at any time between 1 April 2026 and 31 July 2026.
How to apply
We will write to households who may be eligible for a payment and invite them to apply.
Completed paper application forms can be returned by post. An online application form will be available shortly.
As part of your application, you will need to provide:
- confirmation on your heating fuel type
- a bill/invoice (dated within the last 12 months) to support oil or LPG purchased
- a bank statement (dated within the last 6 months) to confirm the bank account where the £200 payment should be made
Only one payment per household can be made. The closing date for applications is 30th September 2026.
If you have not received a letter but think you may be eligible, you can still apply.
