Go directly to the administrator for the current rules and application.

PCAD addresses specified medical conditions and medically necessary additional heating or cooling. LADWP lists particular paralysis and neuromuscular conditions and a pathway for compromised immunity with physician-certified heating/cooling needs. Do not describe it as a general discount for every disability.

Apply: Read the qualifying conditions, have the state-licensed physician complete the required verification, and submit the official paper form. Ask LADWP to confirm the resulting allowance on the account.
