Thousands of hard-up households missing out on major energy discount worth up to £150

WITH the average family now spending £1,690 a year on energy bills, it’s not surprising that many of us are feeling the pinch.

Lots of people get the discount automatically, but failure to claim other benefits, such as the ‘guarantee element’ of Pension Credit or Universal Credit means you won't get the discount. If you are claiming this, your energy supplier is part of the scheme and your name is on the electricity bill, you should get the discount automatically.one of you must get Housing Benefit for people over State Pension age

The other way to get the warm home discount is if you’re on a low income and in receipt of certain benefits.you or your partner get certain means-tested benefits or tax creditsYou could also qualify if your household income falls below a certain threshold and you get either Child Tax Credit or Working Tax Credit.

You’ll get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees celsius or lower over seven consecutive days.If you’re eligible, you should get these payments automatically, but it relies on you applying for all the other benefits you qualify for.
