The UK Government encourages eligible households to check if they qualify for winter support programmes. Cold Weather Payments offer £25 automatically when temperatures drop below zero for seven consecutive days. These payments are made to those receiving certain benefits, including Pension Credit and Universal Credit. 

Other support includes the £150 Warm Home Discount on energy bills, the extended Household Support Fund, and the Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners.

The UK Government continues to urge anyone who thinks they may be entitled to Pension Credit to check their eligibility. Please visit the Talk Community directory for more information on Pension Credit.
