The Warm Home Discount Scheme

www.gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme/overview


You can get a £130 rebate if you meet the criteria.

Should had added you can claim if you get an income related benefit such as Income Support, Income based Job Seekers allowance or Income based ESA. Also if your household income is below £16,750 or there abouts, and you receive ESA WRAG or Support, DLA or have a child under 5.

I've put my claim in earlier today via an online form through Scottish Energy. You have to tick a box to declare you have no objections to them checking with the DWP etc.

Yes but it is only if you receive Income Related benefits, not if you receive ESA/SG/WRAG contribution based benefit. Even if topped up by WTC, you do not receive the warm front or any other schemes.
Local Authorities from January are supposed to be setting up Green Schemes to help those on low income/benefits but I haver discovered these too will only be for those on Income Related benefits.
Warm front delivers insulation/grants for boilers etc but only if on Income Related benefits.
The £130 one of payment is thru your electricity supplier and not warm front.

It's under the Warm Home Discount Scheme and not warm front and as I said if your household income is below the amount I stated and you receive the benefits I said or have a child under five. I filled the form in this morning as I met the criteria stated.
