Does anyone know when the fuel payment is due to be paid?

Within the next four/five weeks I believe - think it depends on the area and within that area there will be some who get it before others.

My Mum got hers today

The aim is to have everyone paid by the end of the year. You will probabaly get a letter saying when - often after you've already had it

I'm going to have to arrange an armoured van for my mother - pension/fuel allowance/monthly assistance allowance and all the rest all coming in at one.

I think I don't have to make a claim as I'm receiving my State Pension. Is this right and will it come automatically?

[Bobbisox]

chrissa - no claim needed. Several people I know received it last week.
