Special Rules Applying to CSHC Holders
From 20 March 2017 Energy Supplement is not paid to new CSHC holders unless they are a grandfathered client.
Existing CSHC holders and income support pensioners may have their entitlement to CSHC Energy Supplement grandfathered and continue to receive Energy Supplement as a CSHC holder. The rules for how grandfathered status is gained and lost are set out below.
CSHC holders who also hold a Gold Card will continue to receive Energy Supplement on the basis of their Gold Card entitlement.
