Winter Fuel Allowance

Obviously I must have missed it by three weeks. I don't understand why I didn't get it as I officially reached retirement age earlier this month after 6 years as a WASPI. I'd planned to pass it on to Age UK. Oh well. Typical.

Ours arrived yesterday as well.

Just got my letter
And got a warm home grant come through too £140

We both got ours this week. £100 each.

Welcome Colleen, Well, you guys, folks, chaps and you madam we didn’t get a letter but the money arrived in our account yesterday. Lovely.

Sorry phoenix forgot the attachment. Here it is.

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?

This has all your answers phoenix

We got ours at the beg of November.

Mmy £200 went into my bank five days ago. Not the £10 though.

Not had a letter or credit into our account yet.
Just checked and it was paid into our account on the 17th November last year....so they are a little later!!

Mine and DHs arrived in our bank account yesterday.

I think they've forgotten me

mine in the bank yesterday!

I received the letter yesterday and it states if payment not arrived by Dec 31st to contact them.

We both now have ours ( smug mode)?

It seems to be late this year, or is it just us?

But that is reasonably fair. If you are living together then you share the heating. It does not cost much (if any) extra to heat the same home for two of you than for one. So, the amount is the same.
I think it is the payments (not the letters) that are made alphabetically. But not sure. Usually, the same time as the £200 goes into my bank so does the £10 Xmas box!, designed, originally, to aid me to enjoy some extra treats over the festive season.

I love him too Knittynatter ?

“bidie in”

Oh I love that!! ?

It is not alphabetical as the postman delivered the letters for both me and my OH at the same time. Surnames begin with E and P.
We received £100 each whereas if he wasn’t living here as my “bidie in” we would each receive £200. I had a moan about it so he’s taking me for lunch tomorrow, last chance before lockdown.?

I got my letter today, OH isn’t old enough. It says it will be paid before 23rd December.

Thanks Franbern, I’m waiting in anticipation!

Ngaiol I have no problem being called "guys" ,welcome and nice to meet you,friendly folk are always good to see.

We’ve had the letter, no money yet, but some years the money has gone in quite a bit before we receive the letter.

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

Doesn’t matter Colleen!
