Level 9216-11-22@Traceymcg
There we go then, should qualify on that basis 👍
SO, and these theories are all very well...you should get a letter through the post from DWP inviting you to apply, as you are in Scotland, and that should have the appropriate 'official' pathway you need to follow. I'm crossing my fingers for you.
SláinteDon'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. -
Level 816-11-22No you don’t in Scotland you have to apply online and I’ve already got a msg from eon and she had to do it for me because somehow the link is not working they don’t letter you out in Scotland it’s a guessing game 👍 -
Level 916-11-22Hi can you please let me no how you managed to apply online as the link takes me only to my gas account. Thank you

Right...one more time. This is what the Gumment says:
If you live in Scotland
If you do not get the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit you may be able to apply directly to your electricity supplier. All the following must apply:
- your energy supplier is part of the scheme
- you (or your partner) get certain means-tested benefits or tax credits
- your name (or your partner’s) is on the bill
Your supplier may have additional criteria so you need to check with them if you’re eligible.
This is known as being in the ‘broader group’.
To get the discount you’ll need to stay with your supplier until it’s paid.
How to get the discount
Your electricity supplier decides who can get the discount in Scotland.
The number of discounts suppliers can give is limited. Check with your supplier as early as possible to see if you’re eligible and how to apply.
Check with them even if you were eligible for a discount last year.
You cannot apply for the discount by calling the Warm Home Discount helpline.
If you’re eligible, your electricity supplier will apply the discount to your bill by 31 March 2023.
So what you are all waiting for, and no amount of searching the interwebs will find it....
Is for E.On Next to put their application link on their web site.
Once they do, all good. Until then, there is nothing you or anyone else can do at the minute. There are no phone applications, no back doors, no non-E.On Next routes.
If you want to try and chivvy them up, all well and good, but until a link appears to apply....there's nowt you can actually do, other than move to England or Wales.
