Copied from another source...........

Hi Everyone...Just giving you all the “heads up” to anyone who is struggling financially, and has a Pre- Payment Meter with NPower
If you have less than £4 on your meter, and don’t get paid for several days... Phone and ask for a “Fuel Voucher” It is £49, and can be applied for twice a year, and you DO NOT have to repay it back.
A PIN number, is texted to your mobile phone.
Just show it to your top up shop, along with your gas card or electric key.
The Fuel companies do not advertise this scheme...
There is no shame in anyone saying they need help...

People should NOT have to choose between..”Heating and Eating” if you go to food banks you can ask them about this applys to people on benefits type in 49 pound fuel voucher and it tells you what to do if it help a few people was worth a post

I COPIED AND PASTED THIS FROM ANOTHER GROUP..
THE FUEL BANK IS NOT JUST WITH NPOWER SO CHECK WITH YOUR SUPPLIER...

It's the least they can do - Prepayment meters cost more than paying by direct debit.

" In fact, the cheapest prepaid tariffs (£1,052, according to Ofgem) was found to be over £200 more expensive than the cheapest direct debit tariff (£846) in August 2019.*"
(Money Super Market)

Mind you - they're only slightly more expensive than paying by Standard Credit.
