You could get money off your electricity bill for winter under the Warm Home Discount Scheme which opens in October each year.
The money is not paid to you - it’s a one-off discount on your electricity bill, between October and March.
You may be able to get the discount on your gas bill instead if your supplier provides you with both gas and electricity.
To apply for the scheme, you must be on the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit or on a low income and meet your energy supplier’s criteria for the scheme.
