Did you receive a Winter Fuel Payment, or Pension Age Winter Heating Payment, last winter? 🔥
If your income in 2025/26 was over £35,000, you'll need to repay it. ⚠️
If you only pay tax through Pay As You Earn (PAYE), for example on a private pension, the payment is already being collected through your tax code and you don’t need to do anything.
If you're in Self Assessment, you need to include it in your tax return for 2025/26.
For more information on whether you need to pay it back, and how it will be collected, visit the link below. ⬇️
