Yes. I'm a pensioner, and mine has already gone into my bank account.

[iluvmargie]

Yes, some on here have already received it.

[emmie]

mine goes in next year when i am eligible i believe......

[jno]

yes

[saintpeter48]

emmie. Yes I am pension age, 72, and for the last few years I'm pretty sure that the money had been paid in by now, I have a surname starting with A and am usually one of the first, I just thought I may have missed an announcement that it had ceased.

[iluvmargie]

It isn't done by alphabetical order.

We have ours, £150.00.

Quote:
"Most payments are made automatically between November and December. You should get your money by 13 January 2021".

So it's still quite early to expect that everyone who's eligible should have received the payment by now.

[Sqad]

Yes, ours is in the bank £300.

[Bobbisox1]

We have ours by letter but yet in account

[jourdain2]

Yes, thank goodness. Had the letter.

My wife and I got ours last week.We have already burnt it.

[Jackdaw33]

I am expecting mine some time next week. It's usually the third week in November for me; the letter doesn't come till a week after, though.

My friend's Mum was once complaining to him about the price of gas and leccy:

"But you've had your winter fuel allowance, Mum, that must help."

"Oh yes. But I've spent all that on Christmas presents for the grandchildren!" :-)

[Unsureme]

MWG,How did you get £150? Thought it was either £100, £200 or £300.

[Jackdaw33]

If both are over 80 they will get £150 each, =£300 per couple.

[Apc2604]

We have £100 each, i.e.£200 for our household. What entitles some people to more?

[Apc2604]

Forget my question. I see it goes up when you get to 80.
