Winter fuel allowance

At least you've justified the fact that not all pensioners need this extra money. I hope those who lambasted me on another thread reads this one !

Send it back if you don't need it, Tidyskatemum.

out looking for logs and chopped down stress

I do love predictive text!!

Yes it is £300 if you were over 80 before 22nd September, it says so on the gov.uk website.

I have never ever bought any logs in 14 years of using a log burner. We collect pallets for kindling and go out looking for logs and chopped down stress. Skips are a good place to look, Mr B also makes paper bricks to burn. Saying all this we do buy 3 bags of coal a year as the coal seems to burn longer. Used some of the WFA on this.

I don't feel any guilt in receiving anything from the Government.

Snap merlotgran..logs bought here also..plus a large bag of kindling..
Not been up to the forage for it this year!

I use a lot more on winter heating because of health. I don't feel guilty.

I am fortunate that I can give mine to charity, I do know that but not having my eye on the ball last year with my H being so ill I find I have been given £300.
Is this a mistake or is it because I am over 80.?
Does anyone have the answer to this?
I don’t want to have to repay if I have given it away.

Yes, it’s very useful, have just ordered more logs.Some of it we use for buying clothes for one of our DGC.

Two hundred pounds!!!
Blimey, you lucky duck; I could stay warm for years on that

I've just placed an order for heating oil. It'll last us about three months, less if winter is harsh, longer if it's mild, and the WFA will pay about two thirds of the cost of £311.00.

We've spent ours....on logs for the woodburner.

That's what it's for.

...me too lavenderzen

Yep. Christmas bonus ten quid. Ours always goes to charity.

I am extremely thankful when mine arrives.

What for ? * Charleygirl*
