Upon announcing the benefit, the Government said it "recognises the value of this help to households, especially as energy prices rise due to the global price of gas.

"That is why we have committed to extending the Warm Home Discount until March 2026 and increased the overall spending across Great Britain from £350 million to £475 million (in 2020 prices)."
