We’ve received a small number of reports from residents who have been contacted by companies falsely claiming to be working with us on our Energy Saving Homes programme.

Please be aware that when you join the energy saving homes programme, we will let you know which contractor will be carrying out works at your property. They will NOT contact you before we’ve let you know who they are.  Please also keep in mind that the programme is fully funded, and you will NOT be charged for the work.

If you are concerned, or unsure at any stage, please don’t hesitate to contact our Retrofit team on 01962 848 175 or email EHomes@WINCHESTER.GOV.UK.

Why apply for Pension Credit?

To receive the Winter Fuel Payment this year an application for Pension Credit must be made by 21 December 2024.

How do I know if it might be eligible?

You might be eligible for Pension Credit if your weekly income is less than £218.50 and you live alone, or less than £332.95 as part of a couple (or slightly higher if you are receiving any disability benefits such as Attendance Allowance). To find out if you can claim Pension Credit you can check online at Pension Credit calculator - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) or telephone the Pension Credit helpline for free on 0800 99 1234.
