The Ofgem document templates are available here and documents guidelines within the Ofgem Delivery Guidance on page 189 in version 1.1

As a reminder any personal information within documents such as benefit letters, bank statements etc, that are not relevant to ECO should be redacted. For example, Ofgem does not need to see the cost of the premises, the amount of mortgage outstanding, bank details or anything else that does not affect the eligibility of the premises requirement.

Information within benefit letters that might need to be redacted are listed below:

•    The amount the customer receives from their benefit. You only need to show that they receive that benefit.
•    For HTHG routes which are not means tested (eg Income Support or State Pension Credit), you do not need to show the customer’s income or savings.
•    National Insurance numbers should not be visible. These are often shown on the front page and should not be used as a unique identifier.

Full guidance on redacting information can be found on page 210 of the delivery guidance version 1.1.

If you would like to more information, please contact your BDM.
