Winter Fuel Allowance Explained | Leicester News
Description
Winter Fuel Allowance is coming — millions of pensioners born by June 27, 1960, will get £200 or £300 to help heat their homes this winter. After public outcry, the government scrapped means-testing, so most recipients will get it automatically with no action needed. You’ll receive a letter in October or November, and the amount depends on your age and circumstances in September. Living alone? £200 if born between Sept 28, 1946, and June 27, 1960; £300 if born earlier. Sharing a home? Amounts vary based on birth dates and benefits like Pension Credit. This payment won’t affect other benefits — it’s pure winter warmth for those who need it most.
