Winter Fuel Payments for Pensioners Will Be Replaced
3 Sep 2024
The Scottish Government has confirmed that it will follow the UK government in no longer providing Winter Fuel Payments to all pensioners. Instead, a means-tested payment will be put in place, but no details on this have been confirmed.
This is separate from the Winter Heating Payment, which helps people on low incomes heat their homes.
We will keep you informed as more information is released.
