The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently published online guidance for the 2023/24 Winter Fuel Payment, which will be worth up to £600 for people of State Pension age.
The annual heating bill help will be paid directly to eligible households and is being boosted this year by a pensioner cost of living payment.
If you are eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment in 2023/24, you will also get an extra £150 or £300 cost of living top-up with your payment, which is usually paid in November or December.
