Good practice guide
In summer 2017, Citizens Advice undertook research to understand what help and support prepayment meter (PPM) users need to keep them on supply. This guide draws together our findings as a practical guide for organisations involved in supporting PPM users. This includes energy suppliers, housing associations, local authorities, job centres, advice agencies and other support services.
The guide explains what holistic support looks like, before explaining each key support area in detail:
Benefits and income
Debt
Energy efficiency
Managing a prepayment meter
Alternative payment methods
Citizens Advice will be publishing a full policy report on self-disconnection early in 2018.
