Last month we had £150 warm homes discount paid into our energy account and were a bit baffled but thought it may be because dh has a couple of chronic illnesses and was on the priority service register. We do not nor have ever claimed any means tested benefits. We were going to chase it up to see if it was correct as we don't want to receive anything we are not entitled to. Today ds gets a letter saying he will be getting it as he was claiming Universal credit during the qualifying date in August . He only claimed UC for a very short time like a month or so after graduating, more to get the support looking for a job than the actual money.
What I'm asking is would they pay this into our ( his parents ) account because it is the account registered at the same address his UC would have been registered d in or does he need to be the electricity account holder ?
I'm just worried we have received something we should not have and don't need as we are all now working and do not need help with bills.
