Winter Fuel Payment 2024/2025 Payment. We are introducing pension age winter heating payment (pawhp) which will replace the uk government’s winter fuel payment (wfp) in scotland from winter 2024/25. Prior to 2024, the winter fuel payment was a benefit that was automatically paid to people of and over pension age to help with household heating costs during colder months.

A winter fuel payment can help you pay your heating bills. It helps people of pension age who receive certain qualifying benefits pay their heating bills.
