Warm Home Discount expansion confirmed with millions more eligible for the £150 top-up this winter – here’s what we know

Around 2.7 million more low-income households, including 900,000 families with children, will become eligible for the £150 Warm Home Discount this winter, as the Government has confirmed it will remove the existing ‘hard to heat’ eligibility criteria. The extension has only been confirmed for winter 2025/26, with further changes possible for future years.
