TENS of thousands of energy customers are in line for an up to 50% discount on their bills.<\/p>\n

E.On Next has launched its "Winter Support" scheme offering hard-up households money off their gas and electricity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under the scheme, eligible customers with no energy debt will be offered 25% off a standard variable tariff from the time of signing up until March 2024.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, eligible customers with energy debt will be offered 50% off over the same time period.<\/p>\n

Any customers signing up in debt will have it cleared in March next year, if they meet all payments on the discounted tariff.<\/p>\n

The scheme is available to E.ON Next customers with a household income of less than \u00a319,000 a year.<\/p>\n

Those with medical dependencies and a household income of less than \u00a331,000 a year also qualify.<\/p>\n

Eligible households do not need to get in touch with E.ON Next but will be contacted via email, letter, phone and text with further information on how to apply.<\/p>\n

An E.ON Next spokesperson said: "Our intention is to help as many customers as possible through this scheme, through the funding we have committed.<\/p>\n

"We will also continue to lobby for targeted financial support, such as a social tariff, to be implemented across the industry."<\/p>\n

Customers looking for further details on the Winter Support scheme can read more on E.ON Next's blog.<\/p>\n

What other help is there?<\/h2>\n

Anyone not eligible for the Winter Support scheme can still get help via E.ON Next's Energy Fund.<\/p>\n

Customers can apply for grants to cover energy bills and get help replacing appliances such as cookers, fridges or washing machines.<\/p>\n

E.ON doesn't specify how much you can get for grants, but you will need to be in financial hardship.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You will also need to show you have made regular payments towards your energy bill over a three-month period.<\/p>\n

You can apply on the firm's website and will need to provide certain information like proof of income and any proof of entitlement to benefits.<\/p>\n

You may also need to upload a meter reading.<\/p>\n

What about if I'm not an E.ON Next customer?<\/h2>\n

You can still get help even if you're not with E.ON Next.<\/p>\n

A number of energy firms offer struggling customers grants if they can't afford to pay their bills.<\/p>\n

British Gas, Scottish Power and Octopus Energy all offer help worth up to \u00a31,500.<\/p>\n

You should contact your supplier to see what help is available.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, you might be able to get help paying for your energy bills via the Household Support Fund (HSF).<\/p>\n

The fund is worth \u00a3842million and has been distributed among local councils in England who are allocating it based on their own criteria.<\/p>\n

That means what help you can get varies depending on where you live but in most cases you'll receive help if you are on benefits or a low income.<\/p>\n

Some local authorities are handing out energy vouchers while others are paying money directly into bank accounts.<\/p>\n

You should contact your local council to see if you can get any help.<\/p>\n

You can find out what council area you fall under by using the Government's council locator tool.<\/p>\n
