answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2023 answer text <p>This rule was adopted as the named bill payer is responsible for any payment issued on the electricity account. It also ensures that the Government can verify customers’ eligibility and reduces the risk of fraudulent claims. There are exceptions when an eligible customer’s partner is named on the electricity bill and linked on their DWP benefit record, or when an eligible customer has a DWP Appointee or other legally appointed representative who is named on the bill.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 22/03/2023 17:59:48 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
