Winter Fuel Allowance

Oh that is really early. We get ours at very end Nov-beginning if Dec

Our winter allowance letter came today. Glad to have it to help with electric bill. Hope you get your letter soon.

I got my letter last week I think it depends on your surname when it is paid into your account this will be the first time that I get the full amount as previously my lovely husband and I had it split between us.

Ooh, I'm not eligible, but wonder if Mr P might be!

Please can someone tell me how old you have to be to get it?

Got my letter last week - not paid yet.DH has not heard yet.

You have to be getting state pension

I think it’s state pension age phoenix, unless you’re on certain benefits.

I have just applied for "WARM FRONT GRANT"

I'm not entitled to the Winter Fuel Grant until next year when I reach 66.

But you can apply for the Warm front one.

If you go to Gov website or google Warm front.It will tell you the criteria. Even if your not sure apply or give them a ring.

Most of the energy suppliers are listed.

It is £149 towards fuel costs.

Mine normally arrives around February.

It comes as Credit on your Bill. You don't actually rec the money just credit.

Our came today.2 bags of logs for over Christmas

Nope, we don't qualify!

However apparently Mr P is entitled to £6 pw towards heating from his employer as he is working from home.

But will be ask for it? Will he buffalo!

My friend had hers three weeks ago I ve had no letter or payment yet

Yet another thing I miss out on by 2 weeks!

Isn't the £6 from HMRC? See Martin Lewis, money saving expert for details

Yes and it’s towards additional household expenses directly arising from WFH.

Thanks both, will look into it.

If I left it to himself it wouldn't happen!

We got our letters today. This is my first year. DH got £200 each year, now he gets £100 and I get £100. He very kindly said I could have his as I feel the cold. ??

bikergran, Warm Front was replaced by ECO in 2013!

We had our letters last week. I think the payment normally comes through round about the 17th November.

Aha, you mean the Warm Home Discount - nope, I don't qualify (for anything, ever).

Haven’t had our letter as yet, but I thought it was usually early Dec.I know it was late last year for some reason.

Colleen 10. Glad you have joined us! Just a thought, we are not "guys"!!

Am looking forward to my tenner at Christmas ( or was that scrapped?)?
