As the temperature drops, households up and down the UK are turning on their heating for the first time - but for many it will bring further financial hardship during the cost-of-living crisis.
Those born before September 25, 1957, could receive between 250 and 600 to help pay for the heating over the winter period under the Winter Fuel Payment.
Households can get 25 each time the average temperature in their area is, or forecast to be, 0C or below for seven consecutive days, between November 1 and March 31 under the Cold Winter Payment.
