Hi tim as the warm home discount started to be applied to accounts that have qualified for it yet

My letter said would be within 6 weeks so it will depend on when you applied and your award was made. I think it also depends on whether your in the automatic qualification group or not.

On this subject my neighbour applied at least 3 weeks ago and had heard no response. She came over to ovo on my recommendation so I would hate for her to lose out.

Hi there I got an email several weeks ago saying I had got the discount and it would be applied to my account but it has not been applied as yet. I had a problem last time and it took several months before I got the discount don't want that to happen this time could someone look into it for me?

Hey Gavin!
If your Warm Home Discount application has been approved, we’re aiming to make the payments within 6 weeks of the confirmation, but please note the official deadline is March 2018.

I applied for my Warm Home Discount through Ovo Energy's website several weeks before I received notice about your change to becoming Boost Energy and it's already been approved. Do I have to reapply using Boost Energy's application process or will all of my account details from Ovo Energy be automatically transferred over and there'll be no necessity to reapply once this change of your Company's name has been completed?
I really don't want to go through the same nonsense as I did last year; my application was initially approved and then it was refused and, after I appealed against Ovo's third party decision, was finally re-approved and I received it at the very end of March this year. As I say I don't want to have to be constantly applying or reapplying for this discount especially when my medical history is no different than it has been since the very start of this discount. Any advice that you could give to me would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Irene,
If you check out the boost forum topic on the warm home discount https://forum.boostpower.co.uk/get-to-know-boost-17/the-warm-home-discount-application-window-has-opened-more-info-here-31
I do know that when you apply you do get an email confirming they've received the application.

Hi I just got an email from OVO telling me I have got my discount and I need to top up to get it with my electricity key? This would be difficult because A. I'm now with boost and B. I don't have an electricity key I have smart meters could some one please tell me what is going on? This is very confusing.

What I would like is to have this sorted online that's what I signed up for and if it's changed brand to boost why do I need to call OVO?

No worries,
As Boost is still part of the OVO family, you will still use the same OVO cards unless you top up online.

I switched to Boost but applied for the warm home discount with my previous supplier, do I have to apply again with Boost?
