Martin Lewis has explained extra help is available to people who do not qualify for the council tax rebate.
The government confirmed a raft of support schemes last week after Ofgem confirmed the energy price cap will rise by 54% in April due to surging wholesale gas prices.
Rishi Sunak announced a flat £200 bill-credit loan would be made available for all domestic electricity customers in England, Scotland and Wales.

The Chancellor also confirmed a £150 rebate for all households in England that are in council tax bands A, B, C or D - as Mirror Online reports.
Figures estimate this will cover 80% of homes so not everyone qualifies for the rebate, including those that fall into council tax bands E, F, G and H.
However, the Money Saving Expert has explained that these energy customers could gain extra support from a £144m discretionary fund being launched through local authorities.
He said: "Many homes are exempt from council tax, as are all-student households and student nurses, and some of those households won't get the £150.
“So there will be a £144 million discretionary fund distributed via local authorities in England that should cover some of those cases and those who slip through the net, but we don't have eligibility criteria yet.”
The finance guru added that this money will be given to those who may need additional support - such as those who are vulnerable and on low incomes.
However, the government has yet to explain who exactly will be eligible for this funding - so we don’t know just yet who will benefit.
