Most payments are designed to help cover the costs of higher energy bills over the colder months.
Despite fierce campaigning before Christmas by charities, unions, organisations and Martin Lewis, 10 million State Pension ers will not receive up to £300 this winter to help with higher heating costs. Winter Fuel Payments started going out in batches to older people on means-tested benefits in October and will continue until January 29.
The Scottish Government has also confirmed that all pensioners will receive a minimum of £100 next winter. Those on Pension Credit or other means-tested benefits will receive either £200 or £300. Full details on how to claim if the payment does not arrive by January 29 can be fond on GOV.UK here. These include the highest rate of the care component of Child Disability Payment or Disability Living Allowance for Children. The lump sum is also paid to those receiving the enhanced rate of the daily living component of Personal Independence Payment , or the enhanced rate of the daily living component of Adult Disability Payment .
