Winter Fuel Support Scheme

As part of support package of over £50m to address immediate pressures on living costs, Welsh Government has made available over £38 million through a Winter Fuel Support Scheme.

Eligible households can claim a one-off £200 payment from their local council to provide support towards paying their winter fuel bills.

The scheme is open to households where one member is in receipt of working age means-tested welfare benefits (at any time between the 1 December 2021 and 31 January 2022):

  • Income Support;

  • Income Based Job Seekers Allowance;

  • Income Based Employment & Support Allowance;

  • Universal Credit; or

  • Working Tax Credits.

For further information, please visit the Flintshire County Council website.

All applications must be received before 28 February 2022. Payments for successful applications will be made by the end of April 2022. You can apply here: Flintshire County Council - Winter Fuel Support
