You could get £140 off your electricity bill for the forthcoming winter under the Warm Homes Discount Scheme if you are on a low income, you receive certain means-tested benefits and your energy supplier is part of the scheme. But you need to apply now!

Check with your supplier as soon as possible as the number of discounts they offer are limited and issued on a first come, first served basis. Once they are gone, the scheme closes. The scheme opened on Monday 18th October, and many energy suppliers are already accepting a high number of applications. Don’t miss out!

To check if your supplier offers the Warm Homes Discount for the 2021/22 scheme visit www.gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme. Alternatively telephone your supplier.

If you receive the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit you don’t need to do anything as the discount will be automatically applied to your bill.

The Warm Homes Discount scheme is a Government scheme that is applied as a one-off discount on your electricity bill.
