I've had a letter that says I'll get the Warm Home Discount.

Yes

I can't find this year's Warm Home Discount application form (I live in England or Wales)

You don't need to apply for the Warm Home Discount if you live in England or Wales.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) identifies eligible households and matches them to the electricity supplier that supplied them on the qualifying date.

If you're eligible through the Core Group, HM Government will write to you between October and December 2026 to confirm whether you're eligible and whether you need to take any action.

The letter comes directly from the HM Government and EDF does not receive a copy.

If you believe you're eligible but haven't received a letter by January 2027, you can check your eligibility using the government's Warm Home Discount eligibility checker or contact the Warm Home Discount Helpline before it closes on 26 February 2027.
