Energy experts say the DWP expects 3million to get the money but some may now have to apply and others won't be eligible
Energy experts have warned people expecting to get £150 to help with their gas and electricity bills this winter that they may not see the money thanks to a recent change in the rules. Experts at Your NRG have explained the changes in the Warm Home Discount rules.
Importantly, this money is paid directly to the energy provider, not to the individual, ensuring the credit goes towards reducing energy costs. "For those using Pay As You Go or Prepayment meters, the support will come as a voucher that can be used to top up your meter. This ensures that even customers not on credit accounts can still access this critical help. Additionally, people in Scotland should be aware of the £58.75 Winter Heating Payment and the £151.50 Child Winter Heating Payment, which could provide further support to low-income and disabled households.
