Alert: £150 Warm Home Discount expires soon. Claim it or lose it.
1 7 Jan 2024
Low income households who qualify for the Warm Home Discount are urged to make sure they get the £150 discount
Most of the 3 million households who qualify will automatically receive this energy bill support
Households who need to confirm their details must do so by the end of February
People on low incomes could benefit from a £150 rebate on their energy bills – and are being urged to act now where they need to, so they can get the support before this year’s scheme closes.
The help is available to more than three million households across Britain that are most at risk of fuel poverty, with many receiving the discount automatically.
For most customers, the discount is auto-applied to bills from October 2023 to March 2024 or provided as a top-up voucher for prepayment meter users.
However, some customers in England and Wales have been sent a letter asking them to confirm their details by calling the Warm Home Discount Helpline so they can check their eligibility and get the rebate.
To mark the start of Big Energy Saving Week, Minister for Affordability and Skills Amanda Solloway is today urging any of these households who need to provide more information to call the helpline by 29th February and get the support they are entitled to.
