The DWP is offering payments to help people navigate the autumn and winter months
Amid the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, UK households have been reassured that there are options for financial aid. The government department is providing payments to assist individuals through the autumn and winter seasons.
Two groups are eligible for the Warm Home Discount: core group one and core group two, reports WalesOnline. If you meet the criteria for these groups and have an energy supply on the qualification date , your provider will notify you of your eligibility by early December. Winter Fuel Payments, previously accessible to all pensioners and worth up to £300, are now being phased out for everyone except the most impoverished. This year, only those on pension credit and certain other benefits will be eligible for support.
This means they risk losing out on winter fuel funds to which they're entitled. The Household Support Fund is set to continue, with the Labour government extending it beyond the original September end date set by the previous Tory administration.
