🌟 Big News for Families! 🌟 Millions across England and Wales are set to receive the £150 Warm Home Discount every winter until 2030, offering a much-needed boost amid rising energy prices.💡
The government’s move aims to ease the cost-of-living crisis, with energy bills soaring to an average of £1,758 this winter. If you’re on a qualifying means-tested benefit, this discount should land in your pocket automatically, provided your supplier has over 1,000 customers.
But don’t wait if you haven’t received your letter or discount yet—give a call to 0800 030 9322 by February 27 to check your eligibility.
Excitingly, from April, the average household bill will also see a £150 cut as the Energy Company Obligation (Eco) scheme gets scrapped. A double win for families!
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband confirmed, “Supporting families is our top priority. Ensuring this Warm Home Discount until the decade’s end provides the reassurance many need.”
With around six million households benefitting and plans for better-targeted future support, this initiative aims to make a real difference. As Ned Hammond from Energy UK shared, this long-term support is crucial, especially with the scheme’s recent expansion. More changes are expected to enhance the scheme’s effectiveness.
And as Matt Copeland from National Energy Action pointed out, ongoing support beyond financial discounts—like energy advice—is essential to reach everyone who might be struggling but isn’t in the benefits system.
Let’s spread the word and help more families secure this vital support! 🏠✨ #WarmHomeDiscount #EnergySavings #FamilySupport
