Rather than this £66/67 off over each of 6 months nonsense.

I think its a good way to spread the cost tbf and it will stop people from spending the lot in the early months

It's being taken directly off the bills though.
They don't get the cash in their hands.

Well not if people are really struggling anyway.
There's still an increase of £600 roughly going on the cap on 1st October.

There's only going to be for those getting bills in October and November.
There's only either £66 to £132 being taken off their bills.

I personally don't need this, it's going to everyone however.
For those who struggled with their last bill, this isn't going to help much, a bit yes, however I think half paid now and half in January would have been a better way.

I take yours and Cherie's point on board but my own view is pay it in a way it could help really break the back of any bills would have been better.

I know but they could use the lot in energy in the first 3 months is what I am saying, at least this way people know whatever they use their bill will be reduced for 6 months
