[slinky.kate]

what do you mean steve ?

[slinky.kate]

I am younger,its because I am on DLA.

[Mamyalynne]

Well I was unaware that DLA was a qualifying benefit for Winter Fuel Payments, interesting.

They don't tell you that on their site.

[slinky.kate]

if you are on other stuff as well,which I wont mention here mamya.

[EDDIE51]

Got mine this morning, and yes DLA does qualify as long as it is at the higher or middle rate for 'care'

[whistonian]

We haven't got ours yet, maybe next week.

[Mamyalynne]

Thank you, worth knowing.

[slinky.kate]

ann,only if you are on pension credits

[vakayu]

Anne I think yes all pensioners get Winter Fuel Payments as they were asking better off pensioners to give it back last year if not required.

[whistonian]

I am not on pension credits but I get fuel allowance ,unless there has been change .

[anneasquith]

last two replies, that's what I thought, thanks

[vakayu]

[anneasquith]
