Two groups of State Pensioners can now make a telephone claim for this year's Winter Fuel Payment, which ranges from £100 to £300, starting today (October 28).
The amount received depends on the individual's age and household circumstances, with the maximum payment of £300 only being given to those born before September 23, 1944.
It's crucial to note that recent eligibility changes by the new Labour Government require recipients to be over 66 and also receiving a means-tested benefit, such as Pension Credit, Tax Credits (with an annual award of at least £26) or Universal Credit (if part of a mixed age couple), during the qualifying week of September 16-22.
