The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update about its £300 Cost of Living and Winter Fuel payments.
The support, worth a total of £3.6 billion, is part of a package to help people with the cost of heating their homes this winter. The DWP confirmed on Tuesday (December 20) that 11.6 million payments have now been made to pensioners across the UK so far.
Most of the payments, worth up to £600 per household, have landed in bank accounts automatically. But the payments are still being made until January, so if yours hasn't arrived yet then don't panic.
