UK Government issues updated information on the Winter Fuel Payment
The UK Government has recently published updated information on the Winter Fuel Payment.
Everyone over the State Pension age in England and Wales with an income of, or below, £35,000 a year will benefit from a Winter Fuel Payment this winter. No pensioner will need to take any action as they will automatically receive the payment, and for those with incomes above the threshold it will be automatically recovered via HMRC. The payment of £200 per household, or £300 per household where there is someone over 80, will be made automatically this winter. You can find out more here.
