How does the Warm Home Discount scheme work in Scotland?
The Warm Home Discount is a rebate that's given out once a year to people who need extra support to pay their energy bills.
People who qualify for the Warm Home Discount 2022/23 will get a rebate of £150 – that's up from £140 last year.
In Scotland, there are still two groups of people who can qualify for the Warm Home Discount:
- The Core Group, who get a Warm Home Discount letter from the government automatically
- The Broader Group, who have to apply to the scheme
The Warm Home Discount Scheme has been given a revamp in England and Wales. This wasn't possible in Scotland, because of the way household data is held.
