Does the winter fuel payment entitlement date change yearly as I’m due to get my first pension payment this month but it seems as I was born after 25th sept 57 I’m not entitled to any winter fuel payment allowance .

I missed out too.
I was born in December and it was paid out in the November so had to wait until the next year.

That’s annoying for you. I’m guessing it’s to do with the official start of the Autumn period?

I think you receive it if you received your pension during a certain period in the preceding September.

I think it was 18-25 September to receive DWP in order to qualify for this year’s payment.
It’s expected that next year’s payment will go back to the original amount.
