The Warm Home Discount Scheme has already opened for some people in Scotland.

Scots are being urged not to miss out on £150 worth of help for their energy bills ahead of the reopening of a scheme delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions . The Warm Home Discount Scheme for winter 2023/24 opens nationwide on Monday, October 16, and certain pensioners should automatically have the rebate applied directly to their electricity bill.

The charity is urging households to apply as soon as possible, as energy companies have a limited pot of cash to distribute, and they should check with them even if they were eligible for a discount last year. Additionally, people on certain benefits may also qualify for support and must apply directly to their energy supplier. This group includes those in receipt of Universal Credit, Income Support, Employment and Support Allowance , Jobseeker’s Allowance , or Housing Benefit.

If you live in a park home and pay a site owner for electricity instead of an energy firm, you may still be able to get £150 towards your energy bills via the separate Park Homes Warm Home Discount scheme - find out more here.
