State pensioners born before 1959 can claim free air fryers and cash

Pensioners born before 1959 are urged to check local council websites for free energy-saving appliances like air fryers. The initiative, funded by the DWP's Household Support Fund, aims to help eligible residents reduce energy bills. Distribution is on a first-come, first-served basis until March 31, 2026. Other councils offer similar schemes, including energy cards and home energy visits, with varying eligibility criteria and deadlines.
