Read the original article on mirror.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Daily Mirror reports that the DWP begins paying Winter Fuel Payments of £100 to £300 from 15 November, and sets out who qualifies, who must claim and who will have the money taken back through tax. Its eligibility details match other coverage of the same payments, and nothing in it misleads the reader.
“pensioners in Scotland now receive Pension Age Winter Heating Payment instead of a Winter Fuel Payment”
The Mirror qualifies its 'across UK' headline in the body by telling readers that Scotland has a separate payment. Scottish readers are not led to expect money that will not come.
“Those with taxable earnings exceeding £35,000 will be required to repay the money via tax”
The Mirror tells readers that higher earners will have the payment clawed back. This matches the DWP line quoted in other coverage, so the headline figure is not left to stand alone.
“You'll need to make a claim if you have deferred your State Pension, if you do not get another DWP benefit”
The Mirror quotes the DWP on who must claim rather than implying the payment is automatic for everyone. This is the same warning the Express gave its readers.
