Fuel costs – reduced rates for low income or vulnerable customers

The Warm Home Discount Scheme will give an automatic £120 rebate on electricity bills for this winter and the next three winters to those who qualify under the scheme.To qualify people need to be in receipt of the guarantee credit of Pension Credit on 11 September 2011. The Department for Work and Pensions will try to make sure you get this discount automatically, but should you miss out you will have to ask for the discount from your electricity supplier. Some electricity customers who don't get the guarantee part of Pension Credit may also get the discount, but it will be up to your supplier to decide who qualifies. read more about the scheme
