The first £600 energy payment vouchers have been delivered to households in Northern Ireland.
The first vouchers were posted on Friday and were not expected to arrive until Monday, but some arrived early. The Post Office said the first people to receive their vouchers were identified by electricity suppliers as meriting special treatment due to age, disability or chronic illness. "You've always got that to fall back on for the weeks you don't have £20 to put on energy," she said.The voucher is made up of a £400 support payment announced in May and an additional £200 because of the high proportion of homes in Northern Ireland using heating oil.The vouchers can either be deposited in a bank or credit union or redeemed for cash at the Post Office, but must be cashed in by 31 March 2023.
Head of payments for the Post Office, Andrew Goddard, said: it was a major logistical exercise and the company was working hard to distribute the vouchers as quickly as possible.
