Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will extend the deadline to claim for this year’s Warm Home Discount scheme beyond 28 February 2023.

The end of the scheme year, as set in regulation, is 31 March. As participating energy suppliers have 30 days to provide the rebates, the deadline for making a claim this scheme year is 28 February to ensure that almost all rebates are paid before the end of the scheme year.

This deadline was communicated in the over three and a half million letters that the Government sent to eligible and potentially eligible households between November and mid-January.
