As part of two separate the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) schemes, UK households face Winter Fuel Payments totalling up to £300, as well as the Warm Home Discount, which is £150.

Haringey Council is awarding the cash to pensioners in the borough receiving council tax support or housing benefit but not Pension Credit, as these residents will get the Winter Fuel Payment.

The DWP and Labour have been urged to "stop" the axe as 100,000 pensioners are set to lose energy bill support.

The support from the new Labour Party government is aimed at helping thousands more families to get £7,500 off the cost of a heat pump

The measures are part of a "warm homes plan" for installing clean heating tech and insulating more homes across the country announced by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ)

The DWP Winter Fuel Allowance has been means-tested this year, leaving 10 million pensioners at risk of losing £300.

Ministers will make it harder for tenants in England to buy their own council homes under changes designed to increase Britain’s stock of socially rented housing, Angela Rayner has announced.

A charity has launched legal proceedings against the Labour Party government, aiming to reverse its decision to restrict Winter Fuel Payments to those on certain benefits.

DWP means-testing Winter Fuel Allowances will drive down old people's health and hit the NHS, campaigners said.

Ed Miliband is set to slash the boiler tax by four fifths over fears his net zero plans will drive up prices and spark a backlash from voters.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), now operating under the Labour Party government, has committed an extra £30million in funding this financial year for its Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
