Has anyone who is eligible received theirs yet?

I was asked this question this morning. I'd completely forgotten about it, but apparently they start paying it from beginning of November.

Just being curious.

Received my Mum's letter this morning advising it will be paid in the next 3 weeks. Neither OH or myself have received our letters yet.

Not yet but expect it soon. They call it Winter Fuel Allowance, I call it Xmas drink allowance.

Thank you for the replies.

Jackdaw33 I think your not far wrong. I don't think many people actually use it to pay for fuel. I know a few who use it to buy their christmas presents.

We tend to get ours at different times too.

My heating/water costs are included in my annual rent which I have to pay regardless, so this actually does come as a bonus. Mind you, the £10 extra bonus is taking the proverbial. When first introduced it was equivalent to an extra week's pension.

I am grateful for it very much. Isn't the £10 extra dispensed with now. What was it you only got it if the temperature went high. Sorry, was that right.
