Winter Fuel Payments
L5001 This guidance applies from 16.09.24 in respect of WFP claims from Winter 2024 onwards.
L5002 A WFP is a one-off annual payment based on an individual’s circumstances during a specified QW. It is payable to those who in or before the QW have reached pensionable age. Winter Fuel payments will be automatically issued using information from Departmental records. If a payment is not paid automatically, the person can make a claim for it before 31 March in the following year. People will also need to claim it if they are habitually resident in Switzerland or an EEA country listed in Appendix 1 and meet the entitlement conditions.
