Notes<\/strong><\/p>

Numbers are for Winter Fuel Payments made to those eligible in Great Britain, European Economic Area and Switzerland aged 60-64: outturn to 2013-14; forecast 2014/15 onwards.<\/p>

Winter Fuel Payments in 2009-10 and 2010-11 included one-off £50 payments for the under 80s.<\/p>

One of the Winter Fuel Payment eligibility criteria is a person\u2019s age in the qualifying week (the third full week in September). This age has been rising in line with the increase to the female State Pension age.<\/p>
