Households struggle after £66-a-month energy support given to entire apartment block instead of each home

A tenant in South Manchester has been left 'devastated' after an energy supplier billed the six apartments as one unit. It meant residents in the six-flat-building in Whalley Range entitled to the UK government 'energy bill support scheme' are struggling to access the £400 entitlement due to their communal electricity supply.

Current tenant Janet Campbell, 55, is on universal credit due to her mental health condition and has been unable to receive monthly vouchers to help support her with rising prices amid the cost of living crisis. It comes as homes with a standard electricity supply in December will have received £66.6 x 3 of their monthly payment, while residents at Manley Road are 'unsure they they will ever get the support they are entitled to'.

However Afzal Khan, Member of Parliament for Manchester Gorton has criticised the governments efforts to resolve the current issue given "they have had months to sort this out" and that they have "left thousands of tenants with submeters across the country in limbo".
