The rules for Winter Fuel Payments have recently changed. From winter 2024 you’ll now only get the payment if you or your partner get certain benefits, like Pension Credit.

Apply for Pension Credit before 21 December in order to get this year’s Winter Fuel Payment. 

“If you’ve reached State Pension age, you might be able to apply for Pension Credit. Pension Credit is a weekly benefit to boost your income. It’s based on how much money you have coming in.”
