Make the Warm Home Discount Scheme Accessible Again to the Most Vulnerable

Petition Details

Remove the energy banding and property size criteria. It is impossible to meet especially in light that so many were forced to down size as a result of the bedroom tax.

Additional Information

The new criteria for Warm Home Discount means it’s almost impossible for anyone to get the support they need if not in the pension guarantee.

The government must remove the impossible criteria and give back vital to support to the most vulnerable, disabled and sick.

Many sick, disabled and vulnerable people are more likely to have higher energy needs and be at home. As well as any medical equipment running costs.

The new criteria is out of reach now for the majority. It must be amendment and made accessible to the most in need. Fair and equal access must be restored.
