Households that don't have a direct relationship with their energy supplier will receive energy bill help worth £400 next year.
The Government has confirmed it will provide the support to roughly 900,000 homes across England, Scotland and Wales.
These households have not received the £400 energy bill support given to those who are in charge of paying their energy bills.
This support has been split up over six months, with £66 paid in October and November, and the £67 from December to March.
The Energy Bills Support Scheme Alternative Funding (EBSS Alternative Funding) is to go to people living in care homes, caravan parks, houseboats, homes supplied through private wires, social rented homes, farmers and households living off-grid.
Eligible households will be able to apply online for the £400 support next month by filling out a form on the Gov.uk website.
A helpline will also be available for those without access to the internet.
Once customers have applied to receive support and their applications have been processed and verified, their details will be shared with local authorities.
They will then deliver the one-off, non-repayable support this winter.
The Government said the exact date for when you receive the support will depend on when you made the application.
More details on how the payment is to be processed will likely come next year.
The Government is also introducing a £200 Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) to help households in the UK who use alternative fuels such as biomass or heating oil.
Most households eligible for this payment will receive it directly from their energy supplier in February 2023 with no need to apply.
Applications will open in February for any households using alternative fuel who don't have a relationship with an electricity supplier.
Graham Stuart, minister for Energy and Climate said: “Getting this support for households’ bills out across the country will save hundreds of pounds for millions of people during the coldest months of the year.
“This has been a top priority and joint effort, with close work between officials and electricity suppliers in Northern Ireland, as well as with local authorities in Great Britain who will help get support to over 900,000 households who don’t have the direct relationship with energy suppliers that the vast majority of households do.”
