Winter Fuel Payment

[Curiouschrissy]

Has anyone received their payment yet ?

I don't know. I haven't checked my bank account. The DWP computer system is massive. It can't pay everyone everything at the click of a finger. When did the government announce that they would pay extra this year? Was it announced in August or September? I am not a computer programmer but the boys in the backroom will have been having to do stuff to the computer system to make these changes.
If Doris in Bolton has got hers and I haven't got mine yet I am not going to panic.

Still waiting🙄

Yes. I got mine last week.

Also still waiting,neighbour got on the 24th Nov.

Yes, got mine last week.

Which payment is this?

Supergranster, got ours today, 7 Dec, we are Y prefix Nat Ins so hopefully you will get yours this week too.

My dad got his back end of last week

Winter fuel payment. Eligibility only. My dad is a pensioner so gets it. It’s been around years. But has been increased for this year

Just saw you have to be born before 1956 my grandma wouldn’t even qualify let alone myself!

DH got it last week

Mine also came through today😀8 Dec.

Glad I found this thread. My DM has been driving me mad about it. I'd previously checked and read it was due out Nov/Dec. Sounds like everyone is starting to get payments now, so hopefully hers will arrive soon.

22 November last year
24 November this year.

I got mine last week.
