Winter Fuel Payment
« on: Nov 18, 2020, 06:04:21 PM »
Hi, I'm a junior pensioner, just 66.
Wondering about the Winter Fuel payment. Will I get it even though my wife is 25 years my junior and we are, therefore , a mixed age couple?

Hi JDL. Welcome to PF. Just so you know, this isn't a pensions information site though we're happy to help if we can. It's more a social site..however..if I'm not mistaken,  somebody will pop up with an answer for you presently.. :)

Yes, as it stands at present ,you will probably be entitled to £200.  When your wife is pensionable age you will each get £100.  However things change all the time.   Currently there is also a £10 Christmas bonus for each pensioner.  Wow!
You'll have had your tea.

Hi JDL, its all on this website. If your birthday was before Oct 5th you'll qualify.

Yes you will, as soon as you've reached the age qualification it's paid to all pensioners irrespective of who else lives in the household.

I'm a lot older than my wife & I receive it.

I got my notification letter yesterday.

Who knows? We have seen plenty of one post members in the past. I expect he was searching, found this forum and asked but has probably forgotten it by now as the answer is easy enough to find on official sites.

'Temperence' hasn't posted under that name for a while now. 😏

Last looked in November 8th, but didn't she say something about going away to look after some house?
