Scotland: Trading Standards Scotland - scam DWP winter energy payments

There have been loads of reports of scam messages impersonating DWP asking you to apply for winter energy payments

In Scotland, the Pension Age Winter Heating Payment has replaced the Winter Fuel Payment. 

In 2025 this will be paid by Social Security Scotland and not by DWP
