What you're entitled to
Even if the period of receiving vouchers from your utility company to help with energy bills has passed you can still make a claim. Even if you are not sure if you are entitled to any vouchers ring them to make sure. You may not have received the voucher if your personal circumstances and details have changed or your utility company does not have your up-to-date details.
Ring them and ask them to send out any vouchers due by post if you do not have access to an email or mobile phone for a text.
You can go to your local Citizen Advice Bureau to make a call if you have no access to a phone.
