The Warm Home Discount Scheme is a 5 year programme from 2011, run by the government and energy suppliers to provide rebates on the electricity bills of households that need it most in England, Scotland, and Wales.
For winter 2016 to 2017, you could get £140 off your electricity bill through the Warm Home Discount Scheme.
The money isn’t paid to you - it’s a one-off discount on your electricity bill between October and April.
The discount won’t affect your Cold Weather Payment or Winter Fuel Payment.
WARNING: The terms of the scheme vary from electricity supplier to electricity supplier. One provider is now offering a lottery as they are over subscribed, other companies need you to have an elderly person or a child in the household.
