The Warm Home Discount is a credit payment of £140 that is given to eligible customers to make heating their home more affordable over winter.
There are two different groups who are eligible for the Discount:
The Core Group – those who receive the guaranteed element of pension credit. This group receives the Discount automatically and does not need to apply.
The Broader Group – those on a low income who meet the qualifying criteria. This group needs to apply each year.
Customers in the Broader Group must apply directly to their energy supplier. Applications are normally open around September and close around the end of December. The payment is usually issued between January and March.
