Regarding the warm home discount ; ( I'm with edf who call it the warm homediscount support plus) . 

I got the award last year for the first time . I never heard anything , so decided to check the edf page yesterday . I didn't know that you had to reapply , so missed the cut off point .
I'm not a pensioner and got this due to being on UC. Apparently , if I was a pensioner I would have received award automatically according to the page on edf website .

I snoozed and lost out unfortunately . Lesson learnt. 

I was going to post here yesterday warning people to reapply. Then I found this thread.
my only issue is that imho I should have been reminded by edf . 

Oh well,  worse things in life ..

EDF did one year send out emails to people who had previously received a warm Home Discount for being in the broader group. However they only did this for a year or two at the most and it was a few years ago. Possibly was costing them too much money.
