Help with heating costs

Winter Fuel Payment

If you're aged 60 or over you may get a Winter Fuel Payment to help pay for keeping warm in winter. The tax-free annual benefit is normally paid from November - most payments are made by Christmas. More information is available here.

Cold Weather Payment

If you're on a low income, a Cold Weather Payment will help you with extra heating costs during very cold weather in your area. Find out more here.
