From 2025-26, all UK pensioners get winter fuel payments. Those earning over £35,000 will repay it through taxes.

Winter fuel payments cost £1.25 billion, saving £450 million. But more pensioners claim pension credit, which costs more.
The government needs £1 billion for winter fuel payments. They may raise taxes or cut spending in the 2025 Autumn Budget to find the money.
The government wants to save money by changing benefits, saving £4.8 billion yearly by 2030. Reversing changes may make balancing the budget harder.
