The DWP has identified four key reasons why some pensioners might not receive the £300 Winter Fuel Payment, despite claiming benefits. The deadline to claim is now only a few days away
The DWP has issued four reason the Winter Fuel Payment won't be available to some peop this year - and some of it might come as a surprise. The Winter Fuel Payment has been modified to only include those receiving Pension Credit and certain other benefits. However, even these individuals are not assured of this crucial support.
In Scotland, pensioners are not entitled to the Winter Fuel Payment. Instead, they can apply for the Winter Heating Payment , which is worth £58.75 and will be paid from December 2024. The WHP is automatically awarded to those claiming eligible benefits, including Pension Credit. However, some residents of Scotland may still be eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment if they meet other criteria and reside in an eligible European Economic Area country or Switzerland.
