💨 Abstract

Some UK households can claim a £300 Winter Fuel Payment in a little-known loophole, even without Pension Credit. Changes proposed by Sir Keir Starmer aim to ease the previous cuts, though details remain uncertain. Eligible benefits include income support, tax credits, Universal Credit, and Pension Credit, with claims backdated by up to three months. Pension Credit also provides additional support worth up to £346.60 weekly.
