Received a text today from 07377930341 saying it is from UK Goverment living expenses subsidy in 2023-2024: We will begin disbursing living expenses to help you get through the winter. If you receive information proving that you are eligible to apply, please update your information as soon as possible to claim it. We will close the application deadline on October 11th,2024. Please apply as soon as possible. If you fail to receive it after the time, we will reallocate the funds to other citizens in need. Thank you for your support to the UK Government.

As it is the 10th October 24 today I assume this is a scam. I had wondered if it was to do with the winter fuel allowance as I did not receive it last year when I should have but they said I did not apply in time.

Also, As I am in the broader group on PIP and Income related ESA how do I apply for the winter fuel allowance. Is it direct to the government and not the energy company.

Many thanks

Hi Chaps

I am assuming this is a scam. The number comes up as a scam if you put it into one of the websites that tracks these things.
