warm home

After getting my electric bill, I was dismayed at not getting the Warm Home discount payment, as I got it last year, on ringing up I found out that I should have received a letter of application last July, as I would then be able to get it now, the man said to make sure I apply this year for next winter,Did anyone else make this expensive mistake :x :x grrrr

Hi to all, This is a payment for electric use, as not everyone has gas, it is paid by your energy company, and taken of your bill, I was entitled as I'm a disabled pensioner on D.L.A, and my partner has guaranteed pension credit, the payment would have been £130, you have to apply in July sometime, not every one can get it, but it's worth trying for, they can only say no ! :? good luck,

I wouldn't qualify for this but I think it's very unfair that you can't apply for it now. It wasn't your fault you didn't receive a form.

Shame you missed out due to someone's error, but thank you for mentioning it. It might help other folks on here.

I'm sorry you missed out. It doesn't seem very fair.
Last year I applied online and was granted the payment without any need to supply paperwork. This year I received an initial letter asking me if I needed to apply for this tax year 2012-2013. Later I had to supply various proof of income/ benefits and although I haven't yet received payment I have it in writing that I qualify.


I must admit I had forgotten about it until I got that initial letter.
