Martin Lewis has revealed that millions more households are set to receive a £150 energy bill discount this winter. The Warm Home Discount typically offers £150 off electricity bills for eligible households between October and March, according to the Sun. To qualify in England and Wales, recipients must either claim the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit or receive means-tested benefits with high energy costs.
In a new update, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) announced that it is consulting on removing the “high-cost-to-heat” element from the Warm Home Discount criteria. This change will mean that any household in England and Wales claiming the right means-tested benefits will qualify for the discount, regardless of their energy costs, reported the Mirror.
