Unlike other seasonal discounts or DWP benefits, the Warm Home Discount isn't paid directly to those who qualify. The Warm Home Discount won't affect Cold Weather Payments or Winter Fuel Payments. They should contact their energy supplier for more information. In Scotland, those who are named on their electricity bill and receiving the Guarantee element of Pension Credit will automatically receive the discount. Those who are in receipt of other means-tested benefits will need to apply for the discount through the energy supplier from October.
