Winter Fuel Payment Warning as Pensioners Face Deadline Next Week
Higher earners may have the payment reclaimed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) unless they opt out, officials said.
- Pensioners have just days to opt out of the Winter Fuel Payment, with the deadline for the helpline and online form set for Friday, September 18.
- Opting out is particularly important for individuals earning above £35,000 annually, as HMRC will reclaim the payment through the tax system unless pensioners decline it beforehand.
- To opt out, individuals can use the Government's online form or contact the Winter Fuel Payment Centre, providing their name, address, date of birth, and National Insurance number.
- Recipients who opt out will not receive the Winter Fuel Payment in future years unless they choose to opt back in by contacting the Winter Fuel Payment Centre.
- Those who receive a State Pension and have login details can use the Manage your State Pension service, while the helpline at 0800 731 0160 operates Monday to Friday.
