Warm Home Discount Scheme: Pensioners

Asked by Emma LewellLabourDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 6 January 2025UIN 20623

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many pensioners are eligible for the Warm Homes Discount in each region.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Warm Home Discount statistics (published at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/warm-home-discount-statistics-2023-to-2024) provide data on the number of rebates received by region (table 2), by the benefits claimed which make recipients eligible (including pension credit, table 12) and by the age of the lead beneficiary (table 14). These statistics reflect rebates paid rather than eligibility.
