More than 11 million pensioner households could be due a one-off payment of up to £600 over the coming weeks to help with higher energy bills this winter.
No exact dates for this year’s Winter Fuel Payment have been announced, however, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) online guidance states that "most eligible people are paid in November or December".
People who are eligible for the annual payment should receive a letter from the DWP telling them how much money to expect. This year’s payment will include the pensioner cost of living payment, which is worth either £150 or £300 and means eligible households could receive between £250 and £600 to offset higher energy usage during the colder months.
The payments will be made automatically into the same account where the State Pension is paid and those who received the one-off lump sum last year should receive it again this year - unless their circumstances have changed.
