Priority services doesn’t automatically entitle you to the WHD. Unless you live is Scotland you do not need to apply for
this. If entitled you will be contacted.

The eligibility criteria changed last year but this year they lowered the threshold for the size of your home. I didn’t qualify last year but I do this year and received a letter from the Government a few weeks ago. Energy companies do not decide who qualifies, it’s the Government.

For those that don't live in Scotland the eligibility checker for the WHD is now up for this year. If you haven't been contacted yet then you can check to see if you're eligible here https://www.gov.uk/check-if-youre-eligible-for-warm-home-discount

I don't know if it is just EON that is looking at the priority system but I had an email from them asking for more info why I/we were a priority user.
It took about 5mins to complete the online questions with a report generated for EON. Both of us were said to have high needs and that somebody would be in touch with us.

My comment was referring to the Warm home discount, which is what this thread is regarding.
