You will be eligible to get the Winter Fuel Payment for 2022 to 2023 providing you:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Were born on or before the <strong>26th of September in 1956<\/strong> (the qualifying date changes each year).<\/li>\n<li>Live in the United Kingdom for at least one day of the &#8216;qualifying week&#8217;.
