You Don’t Have to Spend Winter Fuel Payments on Energy - Smarter Uses for Your £300
Recipients can use the £300 Winter Fuel Payment for home improvements, health aids, or social activities to enhance comfort and reduce long-term costs, experts say.
- Recipients of the Winter Fuel Payment can use the £300 flexibly and are not legally required to spend it on energy or heating bills.
- Medical vulnerability and home faults like faulty boilers or leaky roofs can make homes icy, so people with medical conditions may fund physiotherapy, mobility aids or warmer bedding.
- Simple fixes like a chimney balloon and insulation kits can cut heat loss instantly, while heated blankets and insulated dressing gowns improve comfort and prevent emergencies.
- Using part of the payment for bus fares, coffees or lunches can stretch the 300 and help recipients access community spaces, improving wellbeing and reducing loneliness.
- Utility Warehouse argues bundling broadband, mobile, energy and insurance can include the UK's cheapest variable tariff and up to £400 towards early exit fees.
