What help is available with energy bills for pensioners?

A Sorted Team Answered by

Pensioners may be able to get help through Pension Credit, the Warm Home Discount, Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payments, depending on their income, age, health and circumstances. Some energy suppliers also offer payment plans, hardship support or extra help through the Priority Services Register. Check the latest eligibility rules and apply through the relevant GOV.UK service, as schemes and qualifying conditions can change. If you are struggling with debt or bills, a free advice service such as Citizens Advice may be able to help.
