Millions of older people are due to receive a one-off payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to help keep winter heating bills down.
No exact dates for this year’s Winter Fuel Payment have been announced, however, DWP has said most payments will be made during November and December.
If you are eligible for the annual heating bill help, you will also receive an extra £150 or £300 cost of living top-up. This means eligible households could receive between £250 and £600 to offset higher heating costs during the colder months.But don’t worry, while that is quite a broad spectrum of payments, DWP will be writing to eligible households from this month letting them know exactly how much money to expect.
Winter Fuel Payments are made automatically into the bank accounts of eligible people over State Pension age, so most people will not need to apply for it.If you received the one-off lump sum last year, in most cases you will not need to apply again as most payments will be made automatically.
