Today is the last day that pensioner households will be able to claim up to £300 off their energy bills under the Winter Fuel payment scheme. The benefits offers between £100 and £300 for eligible households to help pay for heating bills during the coldest months of the year.
While the payments are meant to be made automatically between November and Decemner, you can claim the cash if you believe you are in an eligible household and are yet to receive the payment. But be quick as the deadline is midnight tonight (March 31).
In order to be considered for the payment, you must be born on or before Sptember 26, 1995 and have lived in the UK for at least one day between September 20 and 26, 2021. You also need to be receiving either the state pension or another social security benefit (excluding Housing Benefit, Council Tax Reduction, Child Benefit or Universal Credit), the Mirror reports.
