Winter Fuel Payments for 2023/24 are set to open on September 18 for people over 66, living in the UK and abroad
The Department for Work and Pensions has updated online guidance to reflect that new claims for the 2023/24 Winter Fuel Payment can be made from September 18 for people over State Pension age living in the UK and in eligible countries abroad. If you received the payment last year, for winter 2022/23, you will not need to apply again - claim forms will be available online at a later date.
The DWP confirmed earlier this year that 11.6million people over State Pension age received up to £600 in Winter Fuel Payments and cost of living support by December last year. The qualifying week usually starts on the third Monday in September, which this year is 18-24 September - once this has been confirmed we will update this article. You need to have lived in the UK on at least one day during the qualifying week to be eligible.
Similar to last year, we expect there will be different payment amounts for mixed age households and those on certain benefits.
