Hi
Just to let you all know I have just completed my application to my energy supplier for the warm home discount for this winter.

Im not sure what other suppliers have started taking applications but I’m with EDF.

I do know that there are limited timescales for applying so if you’d like to apply I’d check with your supplier now.

    Is it a never ending pot of money for all to claim or is it first come first served?

    It's first come first served I believe so make sure you get your application in. I did mine yesterday - I am with Npower.

    Eligibility to the WHD will depend on circumstances. Those claiming pension credit are in the core group and will be contacted by DWP because they will automatically qualify. If you don't receive pension credit you'll be in the broader group and claiming for WHD under this will depend on circumstances and the criteria with your energy supplier. Some companies haven't yet opened the applications... SSE is one and so is Utilita.

    I just remembered I changed to a smart meter last November and the lady from BGas sorted my winter fuel payment out for me over the phone wish I'd tried that way this year so I know you can still claim in November with B Gas ?

    About 1st come 1st served that's obviously incorrect as I said it was November mine was sorted out and I got the grant earlier than usual fingers crossed for 18/19 as I've just posted back my PIP review form anyone know how long they keep you waiting to hear back? I got told 2-3 months!!! Worried sick suffering from anxiety and depression and chronic back pain good luck everyone ?

    Rang Utilita - They said that the warm home discount scheme has closed for this year. Strange really as that's the same as last year!!!!

    That's because the new applications for 2018/2019 haven't opened yet. Use the link i posted and that will tell you when the applications open for the core group, i think it's October/November.
