It's important to check that your name is correctly listed on your electricity bill by 23 August.
The scheme offers a one-off discount on your electricity bill, and many eligible customers are identified automatically. Here are two important steps to make sure you don't miss out.
Step 1: Check if you might be eligible
Many people who receive Pension Credit qualify automatically for the Warm Home Discount.
You may also be eligible if you're on a low income and receive Universal Credit or other means-tested benefits, depending on your circumstances.
The rules around eligibility can vary, so it's worth checking whether you qualify and understanding how the scheme works.

Step 2: Make sure your name is on the electricity bill
Most eligible customers do not need to apply for the Warm Home Discount and will be identified automatically.
However, if you're expecting to receive the discount, it's important to check that your name is correctly listed on your electricity bill by 23 August.
If you're unsure whether your name is on the bill, or your circumstances are unusual, contact your electricity supplier for advice.
