However, if you live in Scotland and are on a low income, you need to contact your energy supplier to get the discount. You’ll get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees celsius.However, you should tell Jobcentre Plus if you have a baby or if a child under five moves in with you. Winter Fuel Payment – up to £300 per household Winter Fuel Payments are for pensioners to help them keep warm over winter. It is usually a £150 to £300 annual payment.
However, the government has urged almost one million pensioners to claim Pension Credit. They are entitled to the payments, but must apply. Following that, they will also be eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment. DWP Christmas bonus – £10 Millions of families will qualify for a DWP Christmas Bonus of £10, which is given out before Christmas Day.
