The practice that makes you say "I wish it existed in Turkey too": Winter aid for retirees

The UK government will pay winter fuel allowances of £100 to £300 to millions of pensioners, with the payments expected to land in accounts during November and December. The amount will be set according to each recipient's age and the number of people they live with. Pensioners with annual income above £35,000 will have the benefit clawed back through the tax system. The scheme matters because it directs targeted support to older households facing higher winter heating costs while limiting the cost to the public purse by recovering money from wealthier recipients. What to watch next is the exact payment timetable and how many pensioners fall above the £35,000 income threshold and therefore lose the benefit.
