Around 850,000 could miss out on the £150 Warm Home Discount if they don't act soon
Thousands of people have been issued a one-week warning to claim £150 towards their energy bills this winter. Around 850,000 people could miss out on the Warm Home Discount if they don't act soon.
"The Government has put extra money aside for older people who are struggling to make ends meet, enough to make a real difference, but to get it you have to claim Pension Credit – and well over half a million pensioners are missing out just because they haven't claimed it. "Every penny counts so we urge any older person who is feeling the pinch to contact Age UK for advice and a free benefits check. A successful claim for Pension Credit would top up your weekly income, giving you the confidence to keep the heating on during the colder months ahead."
