Winter Fuel Payment
What is this service?
If you were born before 23 September 1958, you could get either £200 or £300 to help you pay your heating bills for winter 2024-2025.
To receive the Winter Fuel Payment, you must live in England or Wales AND receive one of the following:
• Pension credit
• Universal credit
• Income-related Employment Support Allowance (ESA)
• Income-based Job Seekers Allowance (JSA)
• Income support
• Child Tax Credit
• Working Tax Credit
The amount you get is based on when you were born and your circumstances between 16 and 22 September 2024. This is called the ‘qualifying week’.
If you live alone, you’ll get either:
• £200 if you were born between 23 September 1944 and 22 September 1958
• £300 if you were born before 23 September 1944
If you live with someone else and either you and your partner jointly claim any of the benefits, one of you will get a payment of either:
• £200 if both of you were born between 23 September 1944 and 22 September 1958
• £300 if one or both of you were born before 23 September 1944
