If you were born on or before 26 September 1955, you may be entitled to the Winter Fuel Payment giving you between £100 - £300 each winter to help cover the cost of your heating bills. You should receive this payment automatically.
If you haven't claimed for a Winter Fuel Payment before, and you’re claiming your State Pension or other benefits such as Pension Credit, contact the Winter Fuel Payment helpline to make a claim on 0800 731 0160 (Monday to Friday 9am-5pm excluding bank holidays).
In Wales, there was a Winter Fuel Support Scheme where you could receive £100 for households that claim certain benefits but this stopped in February 2023. If you visit the link, you will be able to contact your Local Authority.
