Bit early for it, I would think.
My first year for winter fuel allowance!!!
Yayyy!
don’t spend it all at once:-)
It’s not been stopped.
Anybody born before 1953 will be getting it.
Usually arrives around the middle of this month.
Be just in time…waiting for EDF to tell me my readings are due!
Ah thank you for that .
Thanks everyone for replies i almost for got about this thread .
Hi Eliza ~ mine came in October.
We received our notification on 18th November last year and it was paid into the bank a week or two after that.
My Husband’s come end of November, comes in alphabetical order.
I don’t usually get mine until the first week in December though it was a bit earlier last year.
I am 70 next April, why have I never received this?
I think you have to claim it first time round then there after you get it each year paid into your bank account. try Gov website
Don’t have a bank account, got an OXO tin buried in back garden.
This may help you Purwell …
Thanks, maybe it is because I have not claimed my pension yet.
Thanks for that. It seems to suggest that if you are getting a pension, you will get the fuel allowance automatically.
My very long outstanding started in March…so am hoping to get this too!!! 
I usually get the notification letter after it’s been paid in.
(I’m very annoyed I didn’t get the council’s Christmas meal outing this year - by ballot and the first time I qualified).
edf have sent me an email now saying my payment is due so will read the meter, send in the readings and get the bill updated.
