An energy supplier has pledged to double the Warm Home Discount payments this year, meaning eligible families will get £300 instead of the standard £150.
Shell Energy reckons it will make the extra payment to around 150,000 of its customers who get the Government's Warm Home payment this winter. The payment is part of £50 million support package from Shell which has just been announced and is to help its customers facing financial hardship.
I am 65 classed as vulnerable because im disabled i am stil waitin for my winter warm payment i need it now not next january i am soo cold my friends have had it
Disability no longer qualifies for WHD this year, in and of itself. Have the DWP sent you a letter telling you that you qualify?
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
Do you get any sort of means tested benefit? Without that you are not likely to qualify, and even if you do its not automatic.
Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
No, the discount is not provided through the welfare system but as a discount on your energy bill paid for by the energy companies thanks to a levy on everyone's standing charges.
