You can read about the Winter fuel payments and other heat related payments here:

If your parents are living with you now, too disabled to look after themselves, then they should be giving you most of their income, pension and disability benefits! Care home fees start at about £600, nursing homes £1,000 EACH! They would have to pay all their costs if they were still at home. They should also be making up your wages.

@Kazhaz as your Mum gets DLA she will also get £150 Cost of living payment that can be used towards the heating.
