Winter Fuel Payment

You may be entitled to a Winter Fuel Payment to help you pay your heating bills if:

• you were born on or before 23 September 1958; and
• you lived in the UK for at least one day during a specific week set by the government. 

For winter 2024/25, the Winter Fuel Payment will be between £200 and £300 to help cover the rising cost of energy.

The rules for a Winter Fuel Payment have recently changed and you can find more information and how to claim Winter Fuel Payments on GOV.UK.
