Warmers Homes Discount
Get Ready for Winter 2023-2024 with the Warm Home Discount Scheme!
It’s that time of year again when we start thinking about keeping warm during the colder months. The Warm Home Discount Scheme for winter 2023-2024 is just around the corner, and here’s what you need to know: The Warm Home Discount Scheme for winter 2023-2024 will open its doors on 16 October 2023. Mark your calendars and be ready to apply!
To qualify for the Warm Home Discount, you must meet one of the following criteria:
- Receive the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit
- Be on a low income and meet your energy supplier’s criteria for the scheme, which includes:
- Your energy supplier is part of the scheme.
- You (or your partner) receive certain means-tested benefits or tax credits.
- Your name (or your partner’s) is on the bill.
- Your electricity supplier may have extra eligibility criteria, so be sure to check with them.
To get the discount, you need to contact your electricity supplier directly. They are responsible for determining who qualifies. Some suppliers have already begun accepting applications, including EDF, OCTOPUS, BRITISH GAS, SO ENERGY, and OVO. Others are expected to open their applications on or around 16th October. Be prepared to get in touch with them soon! If you require advice on energy, we can pass your details to The Wise Group. They can provide valuable guidance to help you navigate the application process and ensure you get the support you need.
The number of discounts suppliers can provide is limited, so reach out to your supplier as early as possible. Even if you received a discount last year, it’s important to check with them again this year. If you’re eligible, your electricity supplier will apply the discount to your bill by 31 March 2024. Make sure to stay with your supplier until you receive the discount.
