Don't need to be a pensioner - just survive to 60.
They sent me £200 a couple of years back, but they forgot last year, and I haven't actually heard from tm this year either. B*st*rds!!!

Thought it was 65, with a higher rate at 80.

No, just checked. 60.

Nope! Sex equality and all that. Women get the money at 60, so men have to as well. Same with the bus passes and free presciptions. :) :) :)

Well, make some calls then. £400, not to be sniffed at.

Yeah - I have. I hate talking to these people. But it won't be £400. £200 for last year, OK, but last June the wife was 60. She's now had a letter saying she's entitled to Winter Fuel Allowance, but will only get £125, as there's another person in the household who is getting the allowance (me, I presume).
I haven't had any letter. Neither of us have had any money. As I said before - b*st*rds!!!

They usually come over all cooperative when citizens advice phone for you.

As it happens, I'm talking to them in a couple of weeks time about some help with another set of b*st*rds altogether :) Just hope their advice turns out to be more valuable than last time, when they told me to contest my redundancy. That cost me £650 in lawyer's fees to no effect whatsoever. :(

Mention that, it may gain you some leverage. I mean, the least they could do is help you get some of it back.

My wife & I both are now both 60 & both received £125 each winter fuel allowance, mine by cheque & hers along with a pension payment. In a house the size of ours should be spent in a couple of weeks!

This year you will get £25 when the average temperature where you live is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees Celsius or below over seven consecutive days during the period from 1 November to 31 March. Specified Meteorological Office weather stations are used to obtain this information.
Was talking to someone the other day, they reckoned it used to be over 4 consecutive days.
