The support forms part of council's portion of the Household Support Fund
State pensioners who didn't get this year's Winter Fuel Payment can now claim up to £200 for energy bills from the local council. This support is part of Manchester City Council's share of the Household Support Fund - a Government initiative aimed at assisting residents with living costs. It is happening in Yorkshire too - Rotherham, Wakefield and Middlesbrough councils have previously announced the same scheme.
It also says, "This fund is specifically for people who are in need but will not receive the winter fuel payment automatically." Chancellor Rachel Reeves has adjusted the Winter Fuel Payment eligibility criteria this year, introducing means-testing for recipients on certain benefits rather than an automatic payout to everyone over state pension age. In order to claim Manchester City Council's offer, certain criteria must be met, reports the Express.
