900万联合王国养恤金领取者领取冬季燃料付款,如果收入超过35 000英镑或出现错误,则需要还款。 Nine million UK pensioners receive winter fuel payments, with repayments required if income exceeds £35,000 or if errors occur.

数以百万计的英国养恤金领取者正在领取冬季燃料付款,领取资格扩大到收入最高达35 000英镑的人,领取者增加到约900万。 Millions of UK pensioners are receiving Winter Fuel Payments, with eligibility expanded to those earning up to £35,000, increasing recipients to about nine million. 1959年9月22日之前出生的人自动有资格获得100至300英镑。 Those born before September 22, 1959, automatically qualify for £100 to £300. 然而,超过收入门槛的人,除非选择退出,否则可能需要偿还付款。 However, individuals exceeding the income threshold may need to repay the payment unless they opted out. HMRC评估个人收入, 这样伴侣的收入不会影响还款。 HMRC assesses personal income, so a partner’s earnings don’t affect repayment. 不报告情况变化或提供不正确信息也会导致还款。 Failure to report changes in circumstances or providing incorrect information can also trigger repayment. 因政府错误造成的超额付款也必须归还。 Overpayments due to government errors must also be returned.
