The Winter Fuel Payment will be paid automatically to some
It's widely known that state pensioners who no longer claim a qualifying benefit will lose their £300 Winter Fuel Payment this winter, following the government's decision to make the payment means-tested rather than universal.
Those of state pension age but under 80, born on or before September 22, 1958, and who qualify, will receive a £200 payment. In contrast, those over 80 - born September 23, 1944, or earlier - will receive £300. The payment is determined by your birth date and circumstances between 16 and 22 September 2024, known as the 'qualifying week'.
Most qualifying individuals will receive a letter detailing the payment amount and the bank account it will be paid into - usually the same as your Pension Credit or other benefits, reports the Express.
