New annual heating payment worth up to £300 due this winter
The Scottish Government is set to roll out a new yearly heating benefit this winter. Aimed at assisting over a million State Pension recipients with the increased energy costs during the chillier season, the forthcoming Pension Age Winter Heating Payment (PAWHP) will be managed by Social Security Scotland, taking over from the current Winter Fuel Payments distributed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Valued at up to £300, the payments are designed to mirror those of the DWP's scheme.
