I was told I could claim £140 but because I chose a green energy provider, I can’t
In October last year I received a letter from the government telling me not to miss out on £140 help with my energy costs through the Warm Home Discount scheme. I qualified as I receive the guarantee credit element of pension credit. However, I have since learned that this only applied to customers of the bigger electricity suppliers.
I am with Good Energy, which I chose because it supplies electricity from sustainable sources, but it is not in the scheme. So I lose out on £140. This seems grossly unfair. I have phoned Good Energy but there is nothing it can do. I also sent a message to my MP, to no avail. £140 would mean a lot. What a strange situation to be in. RS, Littleborough, Lancashire
