The Warm Home Discount Scheme provides a one-off payment of £150 to help pensioners and low-income households with their winter energy costs. If you’re eligible, the discount is applied directly to your electricity bill rather than given as cash.

Eligibility criteria include:

• Receiving the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit or other qualifying benefits.
• Having high energy costs assessed by the government.

Most eligible households receive the discount automatically, but if you haven’t, you can check your eligibility and find more details on GOV.UK or Age UK. Let me know if you’d like help navigating this!
