answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2023 answer text <p>The Warm Home Discount is a supplier obligation scheme, and energy suppliers participating in the scheme are required to provide rebates from energy bills to eligible households. Through data matching, the majority of core group rebates are provided automatically, without the household having to take any action. For that reason, only the named bill payer can receive a rebate.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 23/02/2023 15:46:45 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2023 answer text <p>This Government recognises and values the vital contribution made by carers in supporting some of the most vulnerable in society, including pensioners and those with disabilities.</p><p> </p><p>The principle that available income normally reduces entitlement to means-tested benefits is long established under successive Governments. Means-tested benefits essentially “top-up” other income. Means-tested benefits contain additional amounts for unpaid carers, worth around £2,000 a year, which recognise the additional contribution and responsibilities associated with caring and mean that those with caring responsibilities on low incomes can receive more than other claimants.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 23/02/2023 09:58:43 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
