Help with Energy Costs
The government has announced various schemes to help with rising utility costs.
Here are a few schemes you could be eligible for.

Winter fuel payments
In the winter months, pensioners can get between £100 and £300 to help pay heating bills.
This winter, they will also receive an extra one-off Pensioner Cost of Living Payment of between £150 and £300. This will be paid as an automatic top-up to the Winter Fuel Payment.
Check if you're eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment.
Cold weather payments
You can get an extra £25 per week during the winter if the temperature is zero or below for more than seven days, and you receive certain benefits.
