Heating oil support


You could get a one-off payment of £300 if you use heating oil and cannot pay for more. You can apply if you live in Maidstone and:

  • have a household income under £33,000
  • have less than 150 litres of oil left
  • get a means-tested benefit

How to apply

You must send us all of the following:

  • a photo of your oil tank's gauge showing how much is left
  • a bill or letter proving your home uses oil
  • bank statements from the last three months
  • payslips from the last three months
  • proof of any benefits you get
  • your National Insurance Number

Your application may take longer if you do not provide all the required documents.

If you need help, email energy@maidstone.gov.uk. Someone will help you fill in the form.
