Winter Fuel Payment 2011

The amount of Winter Fuel Payment has changed for this year.

For the winter of 2011/2012 the Winter Fuel Payment is between £100 and £300, depending on your circumstances.

With a forecast of a very cold winter ahead, this is something to look forward to even though it has been reduced this year.

I'd forgotten all about that, Mags. I only got my first one last year so it had gone out of my head. It is something to look forward to.

Thanks for the link Mags, didn't know they had changed the rates for this year. Even though reduced, the payment will be very welcome....

Yes, that link was useful. I'll get £200 which will be very welcome, but why have they reduced it?

Re: Winter Fuel Payment 2011

My last two were £250. It will be interesting to see what I get this time.

I think you'll find you'll receive £200 this year, Michael...

It's Cameron and Cleggs way of saving the economy.
That was one of their first of many cuts.

Re: Winter Fuel Payment 2011

I have had improved double glazing installed since last winter so hopefully my heating costs will go down. Particularly as I will be going up to Scotland in about 10 days and most likely staying until the new year.

I have started to paper the walls with the empty promises that should keep us snug.
