The Prime Minister is under pressure after the Scottish government announced every OAP north of the border would receive a winter heating payment worth at least £100 in 2025
The article from the Mirror discusses a significant update on Winter Fuel Payments for the upcoming winter season. It highlights that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that millions of pensioners will receive an additional £300 on top of their usual Winter Fuel Payment, which ranges from £250 to £600, to help with heating costs during the colder months. This extra payment, part of the government's cost of living support, aims to alleviate financial pressures due to rising energy prices. The article also mentions that this payment will be automatically sent to eligible individuals, and it provides information on eligibility criteria, how to claim if one hasn't received it, and the expected payment dates. Furthermore, it touches on the broader context of government efforts to support vulnerable groups amidst the ongoing economic challenges.
