I’m not sure if this is old news but I’ve just read that I won’t be eligible for Warm Home Discount this year. The criteria is being changed to only include those on means tested benefits. Disability benefits on their own won’t qualify. Going to have to turn the thermostat down!

Hi, I’ve only just found out my wife doesn’t qualify for WHD this week as previously we had to submit a form. Last October I read on the Gov.UK website that People in England & Wales no longer needed to apply. I took this to mean that everyone on PIP/ESSA automatically qualified. The energy company (EDF) just kept saying “If you’re eligible you will receive it” But yet again the most vulnerable in society are overlooked as being disabled no longer fits the criteria. Thank you DWP aka Tory Government.
