The Winter Fuel Allowance

Originally written by Garry Crystal, updated by the editorial team on 2nd April 2026

If you are of state pension age and are a UK resident with an annual income of £35,000 or less then the government will give an annual amount of money to help heat the home during the winter months. Those with higher incomes will have the payment recovered through the tax system. How much you will receive as a winter fuel allowance will be dependant on the age of the claimant and whether it is a couple living in the home or an individual.

What is the Winter Fuel Allowance?

The winter fuel allowance or winter fuel payments are payments made to individuals who are of state pension age. The payments are intended to be for heating the home during the winter months but the money received can be spent however the claimant wants. It does not have to be spent heating the home or used to pay for household energy bills.

Eligibility for the Winter Fuel Allowance

Anyone of state pension age can claim for the winter fuel allowance. To qualify you have to be born on or before 28 June 1960, for 2026/27 (this date changes every year). The amount of money received will be dependant on age. The claimant must also normally reside in the UK or Northern Ireland. As with any government scheme there are certain exemptions that do apply. You might not be eligible for the allowance if:

You reside in a care or residential home and receive certain state pensions or job seeker's allowance.
You have been in hospital and have been receiving treatment for over one year.
You do not normally reside in the UK or Northern Ireland.

How Much are the Payments?

If the claimant is 60 to 79 years of age and is eligible then they will receive between £100 and £200. If they are 80 and over then the payments will increase and they may receive up to £300. The amount will also depend on partners living in the home. If a couple lives together, and this can mean either married or cohabiting as if they were a married couple, then only one payment will be made to a person receiving job seeker's allowance or pension credits. All other couples will receive £100 each if they meet the age eligibility requirements.

How to Claim for Payments

Winter fuel payments are automatically sent to people of state pension age who are receiving state pension or some form of social security payment, provided their annual income is £35,000 or less. The payments should be ongoing each year unless there has been a change in circumstances. Payments will usually reach people by Christmas each year and if they have not been received then individuals should contact their local government benefits agency. There is also a winter fuel payment help line that can be contacted if payments are not received by Christmas each year.

Your situation may be slightly different. ask a question below ↓ and our editorial team will reply with our advice.

How Payments are made

Payments can be made into bank accounts, building society accounts or post office accounts; it is entirely up to the individual. Payments can also be made by cheque to the eligible person's home address. The winter payment agency will notify the claimant by letter as to when and where the payment will be sent. All cheques must be cashed within at least one month of the date on the cheque. Anyone who feels their payments are incorrect should contact their local benefits agency or the winter fuel payments help line.

Change of Circumstances

A person who receives the winter fuel allowance must notify the agency if their circumstances change in any way. This could include state benefits and pensions stopping or starting, and other people living in or leaving the home. The winter fuel agency will be able to inform the claimant if any of these changes will make a change to their winter fuel payments in any way.

The winter fuel allowance is an additional tax free payment that should be claimed. It does not have to be used to heat the home and can be spent on anything the claimant wishes. It should be seen as a small extra source of income and can be figured into any retirement budgeting plan.

The Next Step

Don't know if I am getting thick in my old age (64) but from reading the above, "To qualify you HAVE to be born ON or BEFORE 5th August 1953 for 2017/18" By default, anyone born on or before that date MUST now be 65 years old in October 2018 ( i.e. 2018 - 1953 = 65) Can someone explain to me why someone who is 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 should make an application seeing as how they would definitely have been born AFTER 5th August 1953 and therefore doesn't qualify ??

Why does your article state if you are 60 or over you can get this allowance. Do you not realise that you have to be state pension age to receive it, in my case sixty five and a half. The earliest you will get it at the moment is 63 as no one these days will get it at 60.

I think your question has been lost in translation this end. We are a guidance site which can help point people in the right direction and cannot give specific advice. Have you tried the Winter Fuel Payment Helpline number I gave you? Its advisers may be able to help answer your question more fully.

jacs 07/03/2017 at 12:08 pm

Thank you for this, but this still does not make sense. My sister was born 19th January 1954 - she has received this allowance for 2 years. She does not receive the state pension , only her private one.
Perhaps the information you have is out of date.

I was not asking if I was eligible yet, but what the situation is for me.

FinancingRetirement Editor 07/03/2017 at 10:57 am

Winter Fuel Payments are made to everyone provided they have reached the official retirement age for women. Since the relevant
age is increasing over time to synchronise male and female retirement criteria, the qualifying
age for entitlement to the Winter Fuel Payment will also rise. The qualifying birth date for 2017-2018 is January 5 1954, for 2018-2019, the qualifying date is July 5 1954. As you are born after these qualifying dates, you are not yet eligible. If you need to find out more or if this does not answer your question fully, you can call the Winter Fuel Payment Helpline on 0845 9 15 15 15.

jacs 06/03/2017 at 2:00 pm

Hi
I'm not asking about 2016/17. I am asking about 2017/18. There is nothing at the link that mentions anything after 1953 which is why I am asking you.
Can you please find out and let me know.

FinancingRetirement Editor 06/03/2017 at 12:41 pm

Most people born on or 'before' 5 May 1953 will qualify for the payment in 2016/17. If you were born later than this date, you may not qualify. You can see more via the link hereto see whether you qualify.

I was told that everyone born before a certain date (about the 20th?) in September 1951 was entitled to the allowance. Am I entitled to this even though I am still working full time?

I have recently reached the age of 60 and feel I will be entitled to the winter fuel allowance for the first time. How do I make a claim?

I notice that our allowance has been reduced this year from £200 each to £150 each is this correct ?. We have not seen any previous notice that this was bring reduced.

I reached the age of 60 on the 31st of January 2011. Do I have to claim my winter fuel allowance or will it arrive automatically thanks.

Why did we not receive written information that the winter fuel payment has been reduced.
With energy costing more it's the wrong time to lower the payment. How can I protest?

You do not automaticaly get Winter Fuel Allowance once you are 60 or over. It depends on when you were born. Because I was born after June I didn't qualify last year. I missed it by about 2 weeks. Check up on this at a gov't help site.
