Britain 's biggest gas and electricity provider has made a u-turn after increasing the minimum top-up for prepayment meters to £5 .
After backlash from customers , it said customers will now be able to top up with £1 , a move it scrapped on January 1 .
In December , the big six energy giant announced that the minimum prepayment top-up would increase from £1 to £5 from 2020 .
This was part of the energy giant 's switch to using Payzone for customers to top up , instead of PayPoint .
But now British Gas has said it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and will work with Payzone and Post Office to ensure this amount will move back to £1 from early March – though it expects some customers will be able to top up by £1 earlier than this as the changes are implemented .
Sarwjit Sambhi , consumer chief executive at British Gas 's parent company Centrica , said : `` Our customers are always at the heart of the decisions we make and so we 've listened closely to feedback after making this change .
`` The aim of this move was to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offer our customers the best value , but I am happy to change this decision whilst we continue to look at ways that we can help our most vulnerable customers . ''
The move comes just weeks after energy regulator Ofgem announced a new energy price cap from April .
The new rules mean households on their provider 's standard variable tariff for gas and electricity will see their bills fall by an average of £22 a year .
Under the changes , the pre-payment meter cap will drop from £1,217 to £1,200 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The energy price cap was first introduced on January 1 , 2019 to protect households on expensive default standard variable tariffs .
These are often the most expensive deals in the market - costing families hundreds of pounds more every year .

"Best band in the f***ing world... live forever" he shouted before throwing his microphone into the crowd, causing a 10-minute delay.
Unimpressed, host Peter Kay branded him a 'k***head' to the approving audience, but Liam later spat his dummy out on Twitter accusing the comedian of being two-faced.
He raged: "Listen up fat f*** as a real northerner I was brought up 2 say s*** 2 people's faces not behind their back. Live forever LG"

Adele isn't one to be silence, least of all by 'the suits'.
The feisty star was absolutely raging when host James Corden was forced to cut off her Best Album acceptance speech because the show was running behind schedule.
"I'm so so sorry, I can't believe I'm going to do this..." a frightened-looking James told her.
Realising she was being shoved off stage by bosses to make way for Blur's closing performance, she told fans, "Oh alright, I'm sorry and I'll see you this time next year!" before flipping her middle finger to the cameras and storming off.

Mino Raiola has suggested `` big knowhow '' Gary Neville should apply for a job on Manchester United 's board .
The super agent hit back at the Sky Sports pundit after he urged United to make a final stance on Raiola .
Neville was discussing Raiola after the Italian posted a statement on social media condemning Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's Paul Pogba comments .
The United boss explained that Raiola does not own Pogba .
Raiola responded by saying neither does Solskjaer .
Speaking after the Reds ' 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Monday , Neville defended his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a stance on someone who is 'trying to embarrass the club ' .
`` It will end with Paul Pogba , I think , leaving Manchester United , '' Neville told Sky Sports .
`` What needs to happen is that the club needs to make a stance on that agent .
That agent has messed them around now for years and years with Pogba and with other players .
`` Why they allow him and why they allow themselves to be played off him I 'll never know .
`` He 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them and Manchester United should just stand strong and say , 'look , we do n't do business with this guy .
If you 're represented by him , we wo n't deal with you ' .
`` He 's publicly trying to embarrass the club all the time .
At the end of the day , he 's obviously defending his player and sticking up for Paul Pogba .
`` But I do n't think what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said was an aggressive move against Paul Pogba .
`` He was saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they 've paid £90million for him and they want him to stay at the club and play well .
He was n't claiming ownership of him by any stretch of the imagination .
`` Raiola wants to create a situation .
He wants Pogba out the club , he wants his next pay day off him .
`` He 's made tens and tens of million pounds off that player and he 'll continue to do so for the rest of his playing days .
He 's a golden egg for Mino Raiola @ @ @ @ @ @ @ next morning to hit back at neville .
`` Gary Neville has such a big knowhow of football that I ’ m surprised his Salford City is not in the Premier League already , '' the agent said .
`` He should maybe be on the board of directors at Manchester United .
Maybe he should ask them for a job .
On Solskjaer , and why he posted on social media so close to kick off , he said : `` I thought that what Solskjaer said was out of line .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview of mine and acted offended that I ’ d offered Paul Pogba to clubs without permission or whatever .
`` But I was asked if Paul would fancy Italy .
He has a second house .
That ’ s not the case now .
He ’ s concentrated on Manchester United , getting back in the team as soon as possible and having a great end to the season.
`` He added : `` I was not talking about Ole and Manchester United .
`` I have not created any culture of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to defend myself here , the only person I have to explain myself to are my players .
`` Ole should have read the whole interview and not snapped at me like that .
`` The club didn ’ t pay £90million for his services , the club paid £90million to break a contract .
`` They don ’ t buy a human being , they buy his services .
`` I have no problem with Manchester United .
There is no issue with me and Manchester United .
`` If Solskjaer wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ always available , no problem . ''
Neville insisted that Raiola was trying to embarrass United but the agent rebuffed that claim .

She is understood to have felt deeply concerned that footage from arresting police officers’ bodycams showing her covered in her own blood would be broadcast. An ambulance treated her at her North London flat that evening, but did not take her to hospital.
She was found dead on Saturday, aged 40, the day after receiving confirmation her trial next month would go ahead.
Caroline’s management company has criticised the Crown Prosecution Service for pressing ahead with what it called a “show trial”.
Russell said: “Caroline was surrounded by friends and families that loved her, that love her still through a shattered lens of anguish, and that love could not incubate her or protect her from the pain and shame that ended her life.”
The inquest into her death is to open today at Poplar coroners court, East London.
As Love Island returned to ITV2 on Monday night after being taken off air for two nights, narrator Iain Stirling spoke of Caroline’s “passion, warmth and infectious enthusiasm” in a tribute ahead of it airing.

Voice of the Mirror: Boris Johnson's empty words while Britain sinks in floods
Boris Johnson’s empty words, arrogance and inaction while Britain sinks under floods shows that he is part of the problem not part of the solution.
When the country is crying out for short-term relief and a longer-term Green shift to save the planet, the complacency in Downing Street is shocking but not surprising.
The Tory Party’s dependency on money from fossil fuel polluters, which are driving the climate change emergency, explains a lot.
A former Tory Minister who recently warned Mr Johnson doesn’t really get climate change was on the money.
Communities under water need help now. Yet it seems Mr Johnson mistakenly believes he is impregnable with an 80-seat Parliamentary majority so need not bother too much.
But just as tides turn, so too does public opinion. The PM’s manifest failure in this crisis could help to sink him, hopefully for good.

Support staff
Yobs who abuse and attack health workers trying to help them are despicable.
The rise in NHS assaults is both infuriating and depressing. Yet we also need to acknowledge that victims of such wrath will be the first to defend universal treatment.
The public may at first agree with Matt Hancock’s threat to ban abusers of medical staff. But the picture changes, especially when mental illness is a factor.
Assaults on staff are unforgivable and the posting of police in A&E units is a shaming commentary on our disrespectful times.
Yet the truth is our hard-pressed medics deserve better support. This will encourage all patients to behave.
Goggle foxed
Scientists proving that beer goggles momentarily enhance attractiveness is something many know from the morning after the night before.
When beauty is in the eye of the beholder, temporarily enhanced 20-20 sight is usually followed by the mother of all hangovers.
