13,000 pensioner households to get extra help this winter

Pensioner

Over the next two months, pensioner households across Wallasey and Moreton will receive letters from the Department of Work and Pensions with details of this year's Winter Fuel Payments.

For the second year running many will also automatically receive the extra Cost of Living Payment of between £150 to £300.

This means pensioners will, once again, benefit from at least £250, and up to £600, to help with winter fuel bills. Last year, 13,105 households received this cash, including more than 3,800 households aged over 80.

Other help with heating bills...

You could also get:

  • a Cold Weather Payment - if you get certain benefits and the temperature drops to zero degrees celsius or below for 7 days in a row
  • the Warm Home Discount - this is a £150 discount on your bills if you get Pension Credit or live in a low-income household
  • help from the Household Support Fund - Wirral Council runs this fund, using money from the Government. Details can be found on the council website

Why appease identity politics zealots?

Why should my mixed-race children have to pick a side – just to satisfy the identity politics zealots tearing our society asunder?
