Winter Bonus to be paid next month

Around 2,300 to benefit from £300 payment

Around 2,300 vulnerable people in the Isle of Man are set to benefit from this year's Winter Bonus.

Those on low incomes receive about £300 annually in January, to help keep warm during the winter months.

People who qualify include pensioners, disabled people and others who receive means-tested income support.

The annual payment helps them to meet higher heating bills during the coldest months of the year.

Anyone who qualifies for the bonus is paid it automatically.
