Don't people who qualify (irrespective of supplier) get a letter telling them they qualify? And on the reverse of that letter is a list of suppliers within the scheme. So if you are not with a qualifying supplier you switch before the end Feb 2020 to make sure you get the discount.

Anyone with such a letter?

No, i've never received a letter telling me i qualified when i was with SSE and always claimed for the WHD. It was just added to my energy account.

Sorry but its NOT taxable benefit, ignore # 18

Indeed, it's not taxable at all and HMRC would be unaware of it but from what I can see a Warm Home Discount does include an amount for VAT, perhaps a compensatory amount. I wonder if this is what the poster at post #18 was thinking of.


I get a Warm Home Discount (with EDF) and at one time a payment of WHD would show on my fuel statement as:


The Warm Home Discount – Support Plus scheme rebate of £140.00 has been credited to your account. This is made up of £133.33 plus £6.67 VAT

Can you still get this if on Gas only.

You may be able to get the discount on your gas bill instead if your supplier provides you with both gas and electricity. Contact your supplier to find out.
