Pensioners will receive additional financial support as we head into winter
As the cost of living grips households, there are a number of support options for pensioners and vulnerable families.
Winter Fuel payments According to the DWP, more than 11.6 million pensioners in the UK will receive these payments as part of a £4.5bn support package. It means many pensioners will receive extra help paying for their energy bills amid the cost of living crisis. According to the government, you can receive the Winter Fuel Payment if you were born before September 26, 1956. You may also be able to claim if you live abroad.
You’ll get £25 for each seven-day period of very cold weather between November 1 and March 31. Using the Government postcode checker, you can see if a payment is due in your area. A one-off discount should be applied to electricity bills between October and March. If you receive the Guaranteed Credit element of Pension Credit, you energy supplier should be part of the Warm Home Discount Scheme.
