In a policy reversal under the Labour government, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) extended the WFP to nine million additional pensioners over the winter season. Eligibility for the Winter Fuel Payment is linked to being of state pension age—meaning those born before 1960—and meeting specific criteria.
