Your Money: DWP’s Winter Fuel Payment Explained
The DWP will pay a select number of state pensioners a couple hundred pounds in the matter of weeks. As part of the upcoming Winter Fuel Payment, those who were born before September 23, 1958, will qualify for a £200 payment. This is, however, on the condition they also receive some form of benefits.
Eligibility Criteria for Your Money
- Must be born before September 23, 1958
- Must receive benefits like Pension Credit or Universal Credit
- Must reside in England or Wales
This payment helps individuals facing higher bills during the winter months of 2024 to 2025, as energy expenses typically rise due to colder temperatures.
How to Claim Your Money
- You will receive a letter in October or November detailing your Winter Fuel Payment.
- If you do not receive a letter but believe you qualify, you can make a claim.
- The amount you receive is tax-free and does not affect your other benefits.
Ensure your eligibility is checked to secure this financial assistance.
