Warm Home Discount extended to 2.7 million more households
- The UK government announced that energy bill discounts of £150 will be extended next winter to 2.7 million more households across the country.
- Following a recent consultation and policy review, eligibility restrictions for recipients of means-tested benefits have been lifted, allowing more households to qualify for energy bill discounts.
- The Warm Home Discount scheme will now support more than six million households, including nearly one million families with children and around 1.8 million homes experiencing fuel poverty, with suppliers automatically applying the assistance.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged that many households continue to face financial challenges, while Energy Secretary Ed Miliband highlighted that the government’s Plan for Change will provide crucial assistance to millions of families to help ease living costs during the upcoming winter.
- While the government hailed the move as a major financial boost, the Conservative Party criticized it, warning energy prices will keep rising and that only a quarter of households will benefit from reduced bills.
