🔥 Need Help with Heating Oil Costs? 🔥
Hampshire residents who rely on heating oil to heat their homes may be eligible for a £300 emergency payment to help with rising fuel costs.
The Heating Oil Payment Scheme, funded through Hampshire County Council's Crisis and Resilience Fund, is designed to support low-income households who are struggling to afford an urgent heating oil delivery.
You may be eligible if you:
✅ Live full-time in Hampshire (excluding Southampton, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight)
✅ Use heating oil as your main source of heating
✅ Are at risk of being unable to heat your home or access hot water
✅ Receive Universal Credit or Pension Credit, OR can demonstrate financial hardship
✅ Have limited savings and cannot afford the minimum heating oil order
Successful applicants will receive a £300 payment directly into their bank account.
Applications are being handled by Citizens Advice, who can also offer support with energy costs, budgeting, and wider financial concerns.
📞 Apply through your local Citizens Advice office by phone, online, or in person.
