You have now been told you are not to leave the UK. You just stay there and enjoy the skiing

However if you do get under the wire and paddle across the channel why not recharge your battery's and fill your tummy full of the finest nosebag then slip between the Egyptian cotton sheets to sleep it off at one of these fine locations.................... But if you would rather stay in the UK

Is this correct?

"For example they can't claim the winter fuel allowance from Britain"

You have to be 60 and claim it while living in the UK, then you can bring it over with you, ie transfer it.
You cannot claim it from here as I found out to my annoyance.

Yes I missed out on claiming from when I was 60 but I have just claimed here in UK to make sure I can continue to claim in Spain in due course. It was thanks to this site that I realised you had to claim whilst still in UK

Claiming at 60 is one of the things they tend to hide away, but you can apply and get it back dated I think.
