The government recently announced that the big energy companies are to offer a £120 discount to residents on low incomes.

I found this on the Daily Mail website which has more details for each supplier:

WILL YOUR PROVIDER OFFER YOU A WARM HOME DISCOUNT?

– BRITISH GAS will pay the Warm Home Discount to those with a long-term
illness or disability who are in receipt of meanstested benefits or have a household income of less than £16,190. Customers are also eligible if they spend more than ten per cent of their income on keeping their home at 21C (70F) if that income is less than £16,190. Phone 0800 048 0202.

– Customers of EDF are eligible if they are on either income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income Support, or income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). However, they also need to be in receipt of either Long-Term Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance, Disability Living Allowance or DLA for a child living with them, or have a child under the age of five on April 1, 2011, living with them. Phone 0800 096 9000.

– EON’s customers are eligible if they are on Income Support, income-related ESA or income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance and have a child under the age of five, or are in receipt of the disability child tax credit or a disability premium.
