Eligible pensioners will receive a letter in October or November, with the payment being made automatically in November or December. New details have been released on the eligibility criteria, including a useful tool to check whether your income is over the threshold of £35,000. If it is, you’ll still receive the payment, but it will be clawed back using the tax system. The tool will confirm how the payment will be recovered if applicable.
