Affordable Warmth (Northern Ireland)

Northern Ireland’s main official alternative to the Warm Home Discount, helping with energy efficiency and heating costs.

What you get

Help through Northern Ireland’s Affordable Warmth scheme, which GOV.UK names as the place to look if you live in Northern Ireland (where Warm Home Discount is not available). The scheme is about heating and energy-efficiency improvements rather than a single £150 rebate. Exact grants depend on the official nidirect rules and should be checked there.

Who can get it

Households in Northern Ireland who meet the official Affordable Warmth eligibility rules, which are based on income and other circumstances set out on nidirect. Do not assume a disability benefit alone is enough.
