The Warm Home Discount Scheme is a UK government initiative that provides a £150 reduction on electricity bills for eligible low-income and vulnerable households. The discount is applied by your energy supplier and helps cover winter heating costs.
You may be eligible if you're receiving means-tested benefits such as Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance, or Employment Support Allowance. You may also qualify if you're a pensioner, have a child under 5, or a disabled household member on certain allowances. Check the full eligibility criteria on the government website.
Apply through your energy supplier's website or by contacting them directly during the application window, usually from September to November each year. You'll need to provide evidence of your eligibility, such as benefit statements. Some suppliers also accept applications by phone or post.
