Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in Fylde constituency are awaiting winter fuel payments for 2024-25.

We do not hold the data requested at constituency level. However, where the customer is eligible for a Winter Fuel Payment, the Department aims to make this payment within 2 weeks of the award of their qualifying benefit. Customers won't miss out on Winter Fuel Payments even if their qualifying benefit takes longer to process than usual.

Statistics on Winter Fuel Payments are published annually. The latest publication contains data on Winter Fuel Payments made in 2023/24.
