<\/p>\n

Pensioners have started to receive their Winter Fuel Payment as millions of people are to get the payment.<\/p>\n

The payment is worth between \u00a3250 and \u00a3600 and this year includes a cost of living payment between \u00a3150 and \u00a3300.<\/p>\n

Most people should get the payment in November and December – eligible people shold have got a letter in October or November to tell them how much they will get.<\/p>\n

The payment will appear in bank statements with a payment reference. This reference will start with the individual’s National Insurance number followed by ‘DWP WFP’ for people in Great Britain, or ‘DFC WFP’ for people in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said: “We have delivered on our promise to halve inflation and will continue to support people right across the country, including pensioners who may be facing particular challenges over the colder months.<\/p>\n

“As well as up to \u00a3600 to help our pensioners stay warm this winter, we’re boosting pensions through the triple lock – increasing the full rate of the new state pension by over \u00a3900 next year.”<\/p>\n

People born before September 25, 1957, are eligible for the payment. Most people should get the payment automatically in November and December.<\/p>\n

If a person does not meet these criteria or if they live abroad, they may need to put in a claim for the payment.<\/p>\n
