With energy costs continuing to place pressure on household budgets, support is available for eligible households across Northern Ireland to help with the cost of home heating oil.

The Northern Ireland Executive has introduced a Home Heating Oil Support Scheme, which allows eligible households to apply for a £100 digital pre-paid card. The payment is designed to help offset the cost of purchasing home heating oil during the colder months.

If you think you may qualify, we encourage you to check the eligibility criteria and submit your application as soon as possible.
