    Assuming you are not old enough to get the winter fuel payment - there is the warm home discount scheme.

    https://www.gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme/eligibility
    You might qualify under the 'broader group' - for example - scottish power.

    If you were also receiving income-based JSA, IS, or ESA, you would qualify.

    Other suppliers have other criteria - I am unaware of any who will help someone who is 'just' on DLA - and for example has a household income which precludes any income-related benefits.

    But - there is a list on the above page, that you can check the terms and conditions of.
