Extend the Warm Home Discount to everyone with a disability

Petition Details

Hundreds of thousands of disabled people are not eligible to claim the "Warm Home Discount". Although only £140, in these times of 'rocketing' fuel prices it could make the choice between heating and eating harder! I want anyone with a disability to be able to claim this discount.

Additional Information

Many of the most vulnerable in society are not eligible to claim the Warm Home Discount, because they are not receiving means-tested benefits. These people often need higher temperatures than those without disabilities. I believe the current policy unfairly discriminates against many disabled people.
