Update - Fuel Hardship

Support for households struggling with the cost of heating oil and Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been extended into winter.

The Scottish Emergency Heating Oil Scheme was introduced on 1 April to help low-income households cover higher heating oil and LPG prices, driven by ongoing instability in the Middle East.

The scheme has now been extended beyond its initial six-month period while heating oil and LPG prices continue to be volatile, ensuring households most in need can apply for support over the winter and beyond.
