Winter Fuel Payment

If you were born on or before 25 September 1956, you could get between £250 and £600 to help you pay your heating bills. This is known as a ‘Winter Fuel Payment’.

The amount you’ll get will include your ‘pensioner cost of living payment’, ranging between £150 and £300. You’ll only get this extra amount in winter 2022 to 2023.

Please note this is in addition to any ‘Cost of Living Payment’ you’re entitled to. Claims will be accepted until 31 March 2023.
