🔌 Struggling to keep the heat on this winter? The DWP has announced some changes that might affect you. Thousands of pensioners could miss out on the £300 Winter Fuel Payment this year. Six groups will be left in the cold, quite literally!
If you’re outside England or Wales, have been living in a care home since before June, or are currently in hospital or incarcerated during the specified week in September, you won’t be eligible. Plus, if you’re on certain benefits like Universal Credit and Pension Credit, you’re also on the list.
With energy bills rising again, every little bit helps, right? Ofgem’s price cap increase means more expenses for the average household, but don’t despair! There are still ways to manage your energy costs. From budget plans to government aid, make sure you’re exploring all options to keep your home warm and your bills down.
