DWP Benefits that Make You Eligible for £150 Warm Home Discount
The government expanded the Warm Home Discount to include 2.7 million more households, helping over six million people receiving means-tested benefits save £150 on energy bills this winter.
- On Sunday, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero reminded households to check they are named on their electricity bill, noting over six million could save £150 this winter.
- Earlier this year, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero removed the high-cost-to-heat threshold, expanding access to all households on an eligible means-tested benefit.
- With the qualifying date approaching, energy suppliers will rely on customer records as of Sunday 24 August to verify eligibility.
- After 24 August, households can still claim the £150 discount by letter later this year, and Scottish households must apply directly with their energy supplier from October.
- Despite a 7% fall from July, the energy watchdog warns bills will surge, with projections showing a 104 rise by 2031 to fund £24 billion of investment.
