flag UK pensioners born before Sept. 22, 1959, receive £100–£300 winter heating payments starting Nov. 2025.

flag 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. flag 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. flag Most receive payments automatically, though some may still qualify for other support. flag 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.
