Notes
Confirmed at the August 2026 review via Cornwall Council's own dedicated Crisis and Resilience Fund Energy Support Scheme page: the £300 one-off payment and CTS/SMI-exemption eligibility route are both unchanged, paid directly to the applicant's bank account (usually within 7 days of approval). officialUrl updated to that dedicated page rather than the general CRF page.
Requirement
Cornwall resident whose main heating source is oil and who is in crisis due to heating oil costs, and either receives Council Tax Support or is exempt from Council Tax due to Severe Mental Impairment.
