  "Households given the £150 rebate off their electricity bill in each scheme year, April to March, from DWP's data: Core Group 1, pensioners getting Pension Credit's guarantee credit in England and Wales; Scotland's Core Group, the same pensioners in Scotland; and Core Group 2, households in England and Wales getting one of the qualifying means-tested benefits or tax credits, which does not apply in Scotland (DESNZ's note 1).",
  "In 2025/26 the scheme was expanded: the high-cost-to-heat threshold that applied within Core Group 2 was removed, so every billpayer getting a qualifying benefit became eligible, and DESNZ's figures reflect the revised scheme (its note 1). The years before are not on the same footing.",
  "The figures leave out the rebates given through Scotland's Broader Group, for which DESNZ has no household data, and suppliers' industry initiatives, so in Scotland they cover only part of the scheme (its note 4).",
  "The share is of all households: in England and Wales the Valuation Office's rateable dwellings and in Scotland National Records of Scotland's household estimates (its note 3). DESNZ gives no share for each Core Group, since the households in each group's population cannot be counted apart (its note 2)."
