Social Security Experience Panels: Pension Age Winter Heating Payment
This report details findings from a survey exploring panel members’ opinions on Pension Age Winter Heating Payment.
What's Next?
The Scottish Government have recently consulted on proposals for Pension Age Winter Heating Payment (PAWHP), which closed on 15 January 2024. The range of views identified in the consultation and outlined in this report will be useful in supporting further policy development.
Independent analysis of the consultation responses is underway in order to support policy development ahead of finalising draft regulations and policy on PAWHP to replace the UK Government's Winter Fuel Payment this winter (2024/25). The analysis report and Scottish Government response is expected for publication in April.
Draft regulations will be presented to the Scottish Commission on Social Security for scrutiny later in Spring ahead of regulations being laid in parliament in September.
