Household Support Fund

Please note: More details on the scheme will be shared soon.

Winter support initiative

In response to the cut in winter fuel payments by the government, we are introducing 3 new initiatives to support pensioners within Hillingdon.

We will be using our Household Support Fund to:

1. Commission a local charity, or other third party, to reach out to all pensioners in the borough and assist those that may be entitled to Pension Credit to submit a claim. Pensioners who may need support to navigate the online application system will receive help directly in their homes.
2. Prioritising our pensioner tenants for an energy efficiency improvement plan. Properties with older tenants which have an Energy Performance Certificate of D and below, will be prioritised for the programme, which will include new boilers, double glazing and improved insulation.
3. Create a Pensioners' Support Fund, to help eligible older residents stay warm this winter. Further details of this scheme will be provided in due course.

Visit GOV.UK to apply for Pension Credit.
