The UK government announced a significant expansion of the Warm Home Discount, allowing double the number of households to receive £150 off their energy bills this winter. This change automatically benefits those on means-tested benefits, removing previous restrictions related to house size and energy scores. However, some experts warn that individuals on non-means tested benefits still miss out. The costs will be managed by energy companies, potentially leading to slight increases in bills, but the government assures that savings will offset any rises.
The significant expansion of the Warm Home Discount will benefit 2.7 million more households across Britain, effectively providing much-needed energy bill support this winter.
Critics argue that non-means tested benefits recipients are still left vulnerable, indicating that the changes may not fully address the needs of those most affected.
