There's an annual Winter fuel payment for anyone over 60 which comes in about November, then if your specific area drops in temperature below a certain level for a certain length of time you get additional payments for cold weather.
You could get between £100 and £300 tax-free to help pay your heating bills if you were born on or before 5 July 1951. This is known as a ‘Winter Fuel Payment’.
You should get a Winter Fuel Payment automatically if you get the State Pension or another social security benefit (not Housing Benefit, Council Tax Reduction or Child Benefit).
If you qualify but don’t get paid automatically, you’ll need to make a claim.You get £25 for each 7 day period of very cold weather between 1 November and 31 March.
After each period of very cold weather in your area, you should get a payment within 14 working days. It’s paid into the same bank or building society account as your benefit payments.
