Millions of households are being reminded about an important deadline for the Warm Home Discount, which gives eligible homes £150 off their energy bills this winter. The key date is 23 August for people who expect to receive the support automatically.
According to the government reminder, households receiving means-tested benefits must be named on their energy bill by that date. Being listed correctly on the account is necessary for the rebate to be applied automatically during the colder months.
The Warm Home Discount is expected to reach around six million households this winter. The scheme is designed to reduce energy costs for eligible homes, with the discount applied directly to electricity bills rather than paid as cash.
The latest message is aimed at making sure people do not miss out because of account details. For households that qualify, checking the name on the energy bill before 23 August could be an important step in securing the £150 discount this winter.
