More than nine million pensioners in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are due to get help with heating bills worth between £100 and £300 as winter fuel payments start landing in bank accounts this month. Most eligible people will be paid automatically in November or December after receiving a letter. Anyone with income above £35,000 will have the money clawed back by HMRC through tax.
