There are a series of one-off payments due before the New Year for households of all types and sizes - individuals, families, pensioners and disabled people. Here are the payments in full
Millions of individuals over the State Pension age had been anticipating a reversal on the UK Government's decision to alter the eligibility rules for Winter Fuel Payments during the Autumn Budget. Despite strong campaigning by charities, unions, organisations and Martin Lewis, 10 million pensioners will not receive up to £300 this winter to assist with increased heating costs.
Scottish pensioners can expect a letter this month detailing the payment. Most payments are made automatically in November or December, with letters sent to all pensioners by the end of this month outlining the exact amount they will receive and their eligibility for a payment. Child Winter Heating Payment - £251.50 Social Security Scotland has confirmed that payments began to appear in bank accounts in October and will continue this month. Letters are being sent out to eligible families.
Winter Heating Payment - £58.75 Social Security Scotland has confirmed that payments will commence from mid-December, with the majority of eligible households receiving the payment before the end of February 2025. Eligible recipients will receive a letter from Social Security Scotland prior to the payment being made.
