While millions of households can expect to begin receiving the Winter Fuel Payment soon, there are many who won't be eligible for it. Data from the Department for Work and Pensions states that over nine million people born before September 22, 1959, will receive between £100 and £300.

Those eligible and residing in care homes will receive Winter Fuel Payments of £100, while those aged between 66 and 79 will get £200, and pensioners aged 80 and above will receive the maximum amount of £300. Most eligible pensioners will automatically receive their Winter Fuel Payments during November and December. According to guidance on GOV.UK, letters will be sent out in October and November to inform pensioners in England and Wales
