🔥 Last call for Winter Fuel Payment! If you’ve been waiting for your payment of up to £300, time is running out! Most folks got theirs automatically, but if yours hasn’t landed in your bank by January 28, it’s time to take action.
Who gets it? If you were born before 22 September 1959 and live in England or Wales, you’re probably eligible. But how much could you receive? It depends:
– If you’re flying solo at home, look at:
– £200 (born between 22 September 1945 and 21 September 1959)
– £300 (born before 22 September 1945)
– Got a partner? Joint claims may snag you:
– £200 (both born between 22 September 1945 and 21 September 1959)
– £300 (one or both born before 22 September 1945)
⚡️ Important! If you didn’t spot a letter in October or November telling you about the payment and think you qualify, don’t assume it’s coming; you might need to claim. People who haven’t previously received it or have deferred their State Pension often have to step up and apply.
🕒 Claim Deadline for newbies: 31 March! Get your National Insurance number and banking info ready and reach out to the Winter Fuel Payment Centre by post or phone.
