It is per household/person but if only 1 qualifies they get £200 and if 2 qualify then they get £100 each. Smoke and mirrors.

Of course when you get to 80 it becomes £300 or £150 each.

From memory you only get first The Winter Fuel Allowance after 5th September, so say if you were sixty in October you don't get it that Xmas but have to wait for first award for it the following Xmas.

If you go to live abroad you must qualify and be resident in UK on 5th September. Worth checking Gov website. You might go to live abroad in say June, whereas if you delayed it until mid-Sep you might get fuel allowance for the rest of your life.My friend who live in Crete get the allowance although they live abroad and qualify on the NIC stamp contributions paid in UK prior to retirement.

Hi just to update you hubby rang today was told they never recieved his application back. He asked "so dont you send out reminders" was told No! We assume if we dont get form back then you dont want it!!!! Who in their right mind Wouldnt want it??? Consequences are he has to re-apply but sadly wont get it till next March. My question is how many people arent getting it who should be?? Boris on here for 1.
