# DWP Sends Urgent Message to Millions Eligible for £150 Bill Discount
## Alert Issued for Winter Savings as DWP Warns of Scams
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued a critical advisory to millions of households potentially eligible for a £150 discount on their winter energy bills. This alert, posted recently on X, emphasizes the importance of vigilance to prevent falling victim to scams amidst the financial assistance available.
In their message, the DWP highlighted the Warm Home Discount Scheme, noting, "Have you heard about the Warm Home Discount Scheme? If you're eligible, the £150 credit will be automatically applied to your electricity account. If you get a call asking you to apply for the discount, it's a scam." This statement underscores the necessity for beneficiaries to be aware of the authentic processes involved in receiving this discount and cautions against unsolicited offers.
As winter approaches, it is crucial for eligible households to take steps to ensure they are enrolled in this scheme to ease their energy costs. The DWP’s advisory serves not only as a reminder of the available financial support but also as a significant warning against fraudulent activities taking advantage of individuals seeking assistance during challenging times.
