Could anyone help me with a few questions on the finances of pensioners?

I'm about to ring my dad. I think from his texts he is desperately short of money. In a couple of days I will have some credit in my bank account and could help him to the tune of £15 or so, or more if I cancel one of ds's activities or something. But I'm reluctant to do that. Also I can't believe a word my dad says, and he has been giving thousands of other people's money to scammers in the past 4 years, so my sympathy is not what it should be. Does anyone know -

  • the £200 winter heating allowance still exists doesn't it?
  • if I did give him £15, how many days' heating would it buy him on a gas card?
  • do pensions come out on a particular day a week?

many thanks for your help

All I know is that pensions used to be paid on a Thursday for those having payments in cash, I think fortnightly.

Sorry, don't know about the gas cards.
