Winter Fuel Allowance

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.
