Finding out if you could get more money towards your energy bills
Important changes to the Winter Fuel Payment
From September 2024, if you have reached State Pension age and do not receive Pension Credit or other means-tested benefits you will no longer receive the Winter Fuel Payment from the Government.
You or someone you know, could be eligible for Pension Credit. It is estimated that there are almost 1 million people who are eligible but don’t currently claim it, so we don’t want you to miss out.
Find out if you’re eligible by calling 0800 731 0469 or visiting Pension Credit: Eligibility – GOV.UK.
You’ll need to claim by 16th September to receive the Winter Fuel Payment this winter.
You may be able to get money to help with your energy bills if you:
- are on certain benefits,
- are on a low income,
- get or could get a pension
- use an oxygen concentrator at home.
