When you鈥檒l get paid

Most payments are made automatically in November or December.

You should get a letter telling you:

  • how much you鈥檒l get
  • which bank account it will be paid into - this is usually the same account as your State Pension or other benefits

If you do not get a letter or the money has not been paid into your account by 28 January 2026, contact the Winter Fuel Payment Centre.
