E-On warm home benefit

[JohnCo]

Just a mention that if you qualify for `winter fuel payment`(over 60 YOA), you will not get the `warm home discount` even if you are a diabetic!!

I don't think that's correct John. 🙂

Depends which supplier you are with.
British Gas will consider you if your annual income is less than ?16,190. and the account holder is living with a mental, or physical disability or an illness or there is an element of vulnerability in the home.

I know several people who are over 62 with diabetes who have managed to claim this from British Gas because of their annual income and the winter fuel payment makes no difference. They meet the criteria imposed by British Gas.

They also consider people with children under 5 with the same threshold of annual income.

I think you will find most have already been paid.
