Last year I was told ovo would send me electric throws but they never arrived and no one was able to tell me what was happening or who to contact do I need to just give up
Can I still get a throw from OVO?

Hey
What support does OVO have available to support customers this winter?
You might be eligible for £150 credit towards your energy bills through the Warm Home Discount Scheme. If you’re in England or Wales you don’t need to apply. If you’re in Scotland, you’ll need to apply, check here for more information. Find out more about the Warm Home Discount via the GOV website here.
