Households urged to check for warm home discount letters

Summarised from Liverpool Echo's report · Updated 23 Oct, 11:58 · Archive

The Government is sending letters this week confirming £150 energy bill discounts for eligible households in England and Wales.

The Government has begun sending letters to eligible households in England and Wales confirming they will receive a £150 discount on their energy bills through the warm home discount scheme. The letters will arrive from this week through to January 2027 and will advise whether recipients will get the discount automatically or need to contact a helpline.

Eligible bill payers on means-tested benefits must phone the helpline before 26 February 2027 if required to provide further information to receive the funding. Energy Minister Polly Billington urged those who think they qualify to watch for letters confirming their eligibility. Energy UK and the Energy Saving Trust both advised households to read the letters carefully and check whether they need to take any action, with the latter encouraging anyone struggling with bills to contact their supplier to see what other help is available.
