I believe most discounts are only age related i.e. over 60/70.

What discounts are you referring to?

There are age related discounts for insulation etc, but as far as I am aware no company gives age related discounts on gas/elec prices.

From time to time companies have tariffs for those on low incomes; although the advantages are often marginal.

if they have a social / fuel poverty tariff you might qualify. to get this you usually have to spend over 10% of your income on energy.
