Where it stands
The release repeats a commitment made earlier this year, without giving its date. The scheme is running: letters confirming the £150 discount for this winter go out from this week to January 2027, and anyone asked to call the helpline must do so by 26 February 2027. 2030/31 is read as the year ending 31 March 2031. The card moves when the discount is paid for each winter up to 2030/31.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). An editor, Pavel Guzhikov, then checks each card against its sources and approves it.
