    Advice given on Assured and Regulated Tenancy, Further advice should always be sought from a Solicitor....

    I can't apply for the British Gas warm home scheme because I don't have my electricity with them is this right? Also really mad because my electricity supplier ended applications on August 14th.

  • Unfortunately that's the way it goes, there has to be a cut off, its your responsibility to keep an eye out for when applications open and to submit your application, least next year you know to keep checking their website during the summer.

    I used to be with British Gas for both fuels and I knew the dates to apply. I just didn't realise you had to have your electricity supply with them to qualify.
