I can't work out what my parents could claim for. They're in their 80's and are eligible for the winter fuel allowance because they get pension credit, but can they claim the warm home discount as well, or it it one or the other?

Depending on what benefits they are on, they either may or will need to claim for either or both.Indecision is the key to flexibility0 -
