DWP sending letters as some people will receive up to £300
As Winter Fuel Payment eligibility has now significantly changed, around 1.5m people over State Pension age will receive a boost of up to £300 this winter to help with higher heating bills, compared with many more in previous years. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will send letters to all pensioners by the end of this month explaining the policy change and how much they can expect to receive - if they are entitled to the lump sum.
