I haven't had a Warm Home Discount letter from the government (I live in Scotland)

If you're eligible for the Warm Home Discount through the Core Group, HM Government will write to you between October and December 2026.

The letter will confirm whether you're eligible and whether you need to take any action. The letter comes directly from 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 page. 

If you believe you qualify or need help with the result, contact the Warm Home Discount Helpline before it closes on 26 February 2027.

If you live in Scotland and haven't received a letter confirming you're eligible through the Core Group, you may be able to apply for the Scotland Broader Group if applications are open and you meet EDF's eligibility criteria.

You should not wait for a Core Group letter if doing so could mean missing the Scotland Broader Group application window.
