Am I the only one?

Got a letter by mid October the last two years, not had one this year yet.

Well last year, no letter. I got it as did my husband. That's why I've kept it to one dide

There is no application form Nana56 - it just arrives - usually preceded by a letter.

If you are entitled to your SP you are entitled to the winter fuel allowance.

Why on earth are you keeping the winter fuel payment on one side thinking the DWP will ask for it back Nana56?

We both get a Pension update letter each year and we both get the Winter Allowance letter, MrOops letter for that arrived this morning, mine usually arrives a week or so later.

I don’t get a fuel allowance

Nana56 there is no alternative to you contacting the pensions Agency and asking them why you are not getting these letters.

Ihave read the sentence in your post every possible way I can
Initially I didn't get application to apply and had several forms go missing, and phone calls etc. Therefore, i am wary of getting in touch. and no matter how Iread it I cannot make it make sense.

Why on earth should the fact that they messed everything up in the first place make you wary of contacting them again. I would be baraging them with calls, complaints etc etc until they got everything right.

Ps We don't do Internet banking so only know what we've received when we get a bank statement x

I never get a yearly letter

We don't apply for Winter Fuel Allowance, it just comes! We get separate letters regarding Winter Fuel Allowance but husband's letter always comes first.

I think it makes a difference if you marry after both getting the state pension -
like us, we are much better off than people who married before getting their pensions, we just carried on getting our single pension, although I did lose my Pension Credit ... which I occasionally remind him of!

I never get a yearly letter

I haven't had letters regarding pension increase or fuel allowance. Last year we both got it and I have kept the money to one side waiting for DWP to ask for it back.

I just get my yearly pension letter in April and a letter to confirm my winter fuel allowance. One person gets that not both. What other letters are you expecting?

The winter fuel allowance is a joint thing I think.

I ve had my winter fuel allowance letter
Did your husbands letter cover you both ?

I just got a letter last year informing me of my pension that's it nothing else.
