Winter Fuel Payment Warning as Bradford Pensioners Face Deadline Next Week
Pensioners with incomes above £35,000 may still get the payment unless they opt out, and HMRC can reclaim it through the tax system.
- Pensioners across Cumbria have until September 20, 2026, to opt out of receiving the Winter Fuel Payment, a Government deadline for those who wish to decline the benefit.
- Individuals with an annual income exceeding £35,000 should consider opting out, as HMRC will otherwise reclaim the Winter Fuel Payment through the tax system.
- The Winter Fuel Payment Centre can be reached at 0800 731 0160, and pensioners can also use the Manage your State Pension service or Government online form to opt out.
- Once you opt out, you will not receive the Winter Fuel Payment in future years unless you opt back in, though opting out does not affect your State Pension.
- To receive the Winter Fuel Payment for the 2026 to 2027 season, pensioners must contact the Winter Fuel Payment Centre before March 31, 2027; you do not need to opt out annually.
