Retirees Face Automatic Winter Fuel Repayments | Leicester News
Description
Retirees earning over £35,000 a year are being asked to repay Winter Fuel Payments — automatically, via £17 monthly deductions from their state pension starting this year. The policy, revived from Labour-era rules, means those above the threshold lose up to £33/month next April before settling back to £17. No bills will be sent — HMRC just adjusts your tax code. A major shift from universal payments, affecting 3 million over-65s, and it’s especially impactful as pensions rose this year.
