Now we’re into the colder months, you may be worried about how you or an elderly friend or relative will afford to stay warm this winter.
According to Age UK, two thirds of people over 60 find it difficult to pay their energy bills. There are various government schemes and charities which can help elderly people to stay warm this winter - here are some details:

If you were born before the 26th of September 1956 you could get between £250 and £600 to help pay your heating bills during winter 2022 to 2023. This is known as a ‘winter fuel payment’.
The amount you’ll get includes a ‘pensioner cost of living payment’. This is in addition to any other Cost of Living Payments you get with your benefit or tax credits.
Here are more details: https://www.gov.uk/winter-fuel-payment
Every year in the UK, £3.7bn worth of benefits fail to be claimed by the older generation.
These articles will explain how to know which benefits you’re entitled to:

All local councils offer a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), a scheme for making changes to your home and installing items that can help you stay independent, such as stairlifts and shower seats.
To get the grant, the overall cost needs to be above £1,000, but most councils also have a budget to pay for small changes that cost under £1,000 and this is usually not means tested.
You cannot get a DFG for work that has already started so you will need to make enquiries before any work begins.
You will need to initially request a free care needs assessment from your local council. They will send an occupational therapist to assess your needs and make recommendations on what equipment, adaptations and help you need. If they consider your needs to be ‘eligible’, the council will have a duty to offer you help.
The grant could cover the cost of adapting your home up to the value of £30,000 in England, although this does depend on your income and savings.
Sometimes local authorities will pay more if it saves them money in the long run.
And some local charities will pay if you cannot get the grant from your local council.
Housing associations and co-operatives manage the grant in different ways so you may want to ask what the policy is if this is relevant to you.
