I heard disabled people will not receive the Warm Home Discount this year. It says it on the .gov site.

Correct, unless they are in receipt of another qualifying benefit such as Housing Benefit, or ESA and qualify with a high cost of heating property.

The scope and eligibility changed this year. If you are qualifying and live in England or Wales, you will not need to apply. You will still need to apply if you live in Scotland.

Next year the system will probably change again.

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.

The new system is intended to last a while -but everything can change as we know.

That phone number is no longer correct. I just tried it and got a recording telling me to go to gov.uk and search for Warm Home Discount scheme.

If you qualify, you should get a letter from DWP.

If not, and you have run the eligibility checker as I have and confirmed eligibility,

If you do not receive a letter

If you have not received a letter by mid-January 2023, call us on 0800 107 8002 before 28 February 2023.
Or you can write to us at:

They change the rules/parameters almost as often as they change Prime Ministers. Just when you think you have a goalpost in sight, they go and move it.
