Pensioner Winter Fuel Payment 2024 Scheme. Prior to 2024, the winter fuel payment was a benefit that was automatically paid to people of and over pension age to help with household heating costs during colder months. Each year, the uk government gives pensioners a winter fuel payment to help during the coldest months.

A winter fuel payment can help you pay your heating bills. Eligible pensioners can also receive up to £300 for the winter fuel payment which is set to land in bank accounts in the next two months.
