Winter Fuel Allowance

[Scrumpy]

I still haven't received a letter.. My mate down the road has..

[GrannyMac]

We've not had it.  Both had letters, mine came about a week after OH's.

[Michael Rolls]

Just came across this in a story...

It comes as the DWP has stated 99% of eligible households have already received their winter £300 cost of living payment.

Well I'm part of the 1% at my last check. I do have the letter but Lidl said "on yer bike" when I tried to use it to pay. Anybody not part of the unlucky 1%?

Another in the 1%

[Alex]

Me too

Maybe they just mean those on Universal Credit and have sorted them before the pensioners who get the £300 plus winter fuel allowance.

[Michael Rolls]

seems probable - I'm due £600 - perhaps they can't afford me!

I think you're right.  

[Diasi]

Anybody received it yet?

I get a lot of notifications from the Sun about various cost of living payments that are due.

I think the Pension & Universal Credit recipients have had £900 to date this year.

[klondike]

We did that a couple of weeks back. Me along with everybody here are among the unlucky 1% not to receive theirs yet. None of us know anybody in the 99% we are told have been paid already.

[Raven]

Only had the letter, no cash yet though.

[Scrumpy]

Not even a letter..

[GrannyMac]

I'm with Phil, the CoL payments to people on means tested benefits will have gone out sooner than the WFA and CoL extras to pensioners.

[Michael Rolls]

had the letter a while back, but no money yet

[Michael Rolls]

got the money today

[Raven]

got the money today

Good for you. 
Probably be ages for us, usually is.
