Millions of households are set to receive the Winter Fuel Payment - but some state pensioners won't qualify for it. According to Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) figures, over nine million people born before 22 September 1959 will receive between £100 and £300.

Eligible pensioners residing in care homes will receive Winter Fuel Payments of £100, while those aged between 66 and 79 will receive £200, and pensioners aged 80 and above will get the maximum amount of £300.

Most eligible pensioners will automatically receive their Winter Fuel Payments during November and December. Guidance on GOV.UK indicates that letters will be dispatched in October and November to inform pensioners in England and Wales about the amount they can expect to receive.
