The Warm Home Discount is a one-off £150 payment towards electricity bills, paid directly by energy suppliers to their customers.
The payment is targeted to those on low incomes including those who receive means tested benefits and is separate from the Energy Bill Support Scheme.
Customers must apply for the payments through their electricity suppliers before 31st March 2027, with the exception of individuals who receive the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit who will automatically receive the Warm Home Discount from their suppliers.
Check if you are eligible and apply for your payment here or alternatively call Scottish Gas’ dedicated line on 0330 808 3880.
Scottish Gas is providing additional support this Winter to both its own customers and those of other energy suppliers through the independent Scottish Gas Energy Trust.
Through the Trust, consumers can apply for grants of up to £1,700 through the Individual and Families Fund or through the Energy Support Fund which is solely funded by Scottish Gas.
