Check if you are due £58 heating payment this month to help with winter energy bills

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Changes to Winter Fuel Payment eligibility means that 10 million pensioners, including 850,000 in Scotland will miss out on the annual heating bill help worth between £100 and £300 because they are not in receipt of a means-tested benefit such as Pension Credit.

However, thousands of people in Scotland will be due a one-off payment of £58.75 from mid-December, called the Winter Heating Payment.

Guidance on mygov.scot explains that the payment will be made automatically to people on income related benefits including Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Income Support, Income based Jobseeker's Allowance, Income Related Employment Support Allowance or Support for Mortgage Interest.

The devolved benefit is only available in Scotland and replaced the £25 Cold Weather Payment delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) two years ago.
