Government urges households to check if they can save £150 on energy bills
Which households are eligible for £150 discount on energy bills
- The government is urging households to check their eligibility for the expanded Warm Home Discount scheme.
- The scheme offers a one-off £150 discount on domestic energy bills, automatically applied between October and March.
- Around six million people are expected to receive the payment this winter, an increase of 2.7 million from last year.
- Eligibility now requires the bill payer to receive an eligible means-tested benefit and be named on the energy bill.
- Energy suppliers will check eligibility based on records as of 24 August, meaning households have a limited time to ensure correct details are on their bill to receive the discount promptly.
