Winter Fuel Payment Change for High Earners | Leeds News
Description
Starting next year, state pensioners earning over £35,000 will have to repay their £200 Winter Fuel Payment through the tax system — not directly taken, but adjusted via your tax code. This change applies to the 2025-26 tax year, with HMRC sending notifications in April 2026. If you’re married or partnered, income is assessed individually — so only the higher earner may owe it back. If you’ve already paid too much, you could even get a refund. The government’s goal? To ensure support reaches those who truly need it. Keep an eye on your tax info and HMRC communications.
