UK pensioners born before Sept. 22, 1959, receive £100–£300 winter heating payments starting Nov. 2025.
In 2025, around nine million UK pensioners in England and Wales born before September 22, 1959, are receiving Winter Fuel Payments of £100 to £300 to help with heating costs, with payments starting in November and continuing into December.
Eligibility is based on birth date and residence, with those aged 80 and over receiving £300, those 66 to 79 getting £200, and care home residents receiving £100.
Most receive payments automatically, though some may still qualify for other support.
The government reversed a 2024 rule that linked payments to Pension Credit, which had led to 830,000 missed claims, and experts note low take-up persists, especially in rural areas, with potential for an extra £4,000 annually in benefits if all eligible pensioners applied.
