DWP Winter Fuel Payment Warning – Pensioners Targeted by Scams

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued a warning to pensioners after reports of fraudulent messages claiming to offer the Winter Fuel Payment. Scammers are contacting people by email, text, and phone, pretending to be from the DWP or another government department.

These messages often ask for personal details, bank information, or request that you click on a link to claim your payment. Please remember. The DWP will never ask for your bank details or personal information by text or email.

You do not need to apply for the Winter Fuel Payment if you already receive the State Pension or other qualifying benefits payments are made automatically.

If you receive a suspicious message:

1. Do not click on any links or attachments.
2. Do not share personal or banking information.
3. Report scam messages.

Stay alert and help protect yourself and others from fraud this winter.
