The payment will be triggered when temperatures drop below a certain point
Millions of people across parts of the UK will be able to claim a payment from the Department of Work and Pensions this winter when temperatures plummet.
For the payment to be triggered, the average temperature in your postcode area must be, or forecast to be, 0c or below over seven consecutive days.Claimants will get £25 for each seven-day period where the weather is below this threshold. The Labour government plans to reduce the number of people eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment, worth up to £300, by means-testing the benefit. Last winter, all pensioners were entitled to the one-off payment, which usually lands in bank accounts from November. However, this winter, the DWP will only pay the money to pensioners if they are claiming Pension Credit or certain other benefits.
