英国天然气公司敦促2M养恤金领取者申请养恤金信贷,因为冬季燃料付款现在需要这种信贷。 British Gas urges 2M pensioners to apply for pension credit, as winter fuel payments now require it.

英国天然气公司向大约200万养恤金领取者伸出援手,敦促他们申请养恤金信贷,每年平均3 900英镑。 British Gas is reaching out to about two million pensioners, urging them to apply for pension credit, a benefit averaging £3,900 annually. 这项举措是在联合王国政府决定只向领取养恤金信贷者支付冬季燃料后采取的,符合条件的领取者从1 100万减少到200万。 This initiative follows the UK government's decision to restrict winter fuel payments to only those receiving pension credit, reducing eligible recipients from 11 million to two million. 该公司还在重开冬季计划,在持续的财政压力下,将最高赠款从1 500英镑增加到2 000英镑。 The company is also reopening its winter scheme, increasing maximum grants from £1,500 to £2,000, amid ongoing financial pressures.
