Accepted
Paragraph: 19
Warm Home Discount scheme suffers from limited availability and first-come, first-served allocation.
Conclusion
We were disappointed to learn that not all energy providers are required to offer this discount and that providers who do offer it have a limited number of discounts which are given on a first-come, first-served basis.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government details that it reformed the Warm Home Discount scheme in England and Wales from winter 2022 onwards to remove the 'first come first served aspect' and ensure all but the smallest suppliers must participate, expanding the scheme and increasing the rebate value.
