Winter fuel payment

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 to 2025.

You may be eligible if you or your partner get certain benefits.

For more information visit the Governments Winter Fuel Payment Webpage or for further help and advice call the Winter Fuel Payment Centre:

Telephone: 0800 731 0160

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm *Please note you cannot make a claim by phone.

If you no longer qualify for the scheme and you're struggling with high energy bills or with the cost of living in general, you should check if you can claim benefits. Take a look at our Better off Calculator.
