The Winter Fuel Payment phone lines open in October
A series of changes affecting the Department for Work and Pensions claimants have been announced, with UK households set to face a raft of new rules in October 2024. Among the changes is the opening of the Winter Fuel Payment phone lines. The shake-up will impact everything from energy bills to Royal Mail stamps. Winter Fuel Payments, worth up to £300, will be automatically received by most eligible individuals, but some will need to apply.
No need to re-register if you filed a self-assessment last year; HMRC should nudge you to submit one this year, but ultimately, it's on you to remember. Stamp prices rise again Brace yourselves as stamp prices are set to soar from Monday, 7 October. Royal Mail has announced a hefty 22% hike in the price of standard first-class stamps. However, there's a silver lining stamps bought before the increase can still be used post-hike, so it might be wise to stock up now.
