GOV.UK says the Warm Home Discount Scheme has closed for 2025/26 and reopens in October 2026 for the coming winter. For 2026/27: eligibility letters are due to go out between 20 October and 31 December 2026, the £150 is applied to electricity bills between November 2026 and 31 March 2027, and the expanded eligibility (the old high-cost-to-heat test was removed) carries forward. This page is designed to prepare the check and route you to the official page, not to replace the scheme rules when it reopens.
