## Summary

Several Government schemes could help eligible UK households with winter energy costs, with support worth hundreds of pounds. Who qualifies and how much they receive depends on factors such as age, income and benefits, while Cold Weather Payments require a qualifying cold spell.

Pensioners born on or before 27 June 1960 may receive £100 to £300 through the Winter Fuel Payment, generally paid in November or December, though it can be reclaimed from people with individual incomes above £35,000. Eligible low-income households may get a £150 Warm Home Discount on their electricity bill by 31 March 2027. People receiving certain benefits may also get £25 for each seven-day period of freezing conditions from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027; Scotland has a separate Winter Heating Payment.
