US EditionFull list of DWP Winter Fuel Payments of up to £300 confirmed for pensioners
- Nine million pensioners in England and Wales will receive Winter Fuel Payments of up to £300 this year following a change in eligibility rules from the Government, which has expanded access to include those with taxable incomes below £35,000.
- Approximately two million pensioners with incomes above £35,000 will miss out on the payments, while those over this threshold may initially receive it and later have to repay it to HMRC.
- Financial experts advise pensioners to explore strategies to reduce their taxable income to qualify for the benefits, such as transferring income-generating assets or utilizing ISA accounts.
- Experts warn that not all pensioners will receive payments automatically, and some may need to contact the Department of Work and Pensions to ensure eligibility.
