Re: Winter Fuel Payment
The cold weather payment was not replaced by WFA, cold weather payment is still there for those on certain benefits when temprature conditions are met. WFA is an addition to the pension along the lines of the Christmas bonus as you say not made part of the pension for cost implications, as such it can be removed, but I suppose that depends on how brave they feel at an election. Like I say I don't get it and doubt I ever will,

Re: Winter Fuel Payment
Interesting that under the proposed tempraure rules although Spain and France are to be excluded those in Italy appear not to be?

Re: Winter Fuel Payment
Neptuno as you have made your claim previously I would think you will continue to get it without claiming again untill the rules change. Suppose to b certain though you will either have to wait and see or ask them.

Fred bit like your wife for me with State Pension. I am born 6th Feb 54 and have to wait until July of my 65th year to get pension. Had I been born on the 5th I would get it on my birthday. Mind wife has to wait 6 years longer than she first thought! |

According to the latest UK House Price Index figures, prices fell in July in Wales, Scotland, the North West and the North East:-
http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/media...-land-registry When I was back in the UK in June, I noticed that my father's old house was back on the market, at an asking price 23% less than we sold it for in November 2007. According to the Land Registry records it hasn't yet been sold. Prices in my old postcode (in a different area of the North West) have also fallen over 20% since we sold in November 2006. |

Re: Winter Fuel Payment
And yet another hike in electricity prices from 1st Oct, thats around 11% increase this year. So as pensioners it will be on with the thermals, blankets etc as just cant afford to use it to have a warm house. But as people on here say it doesnt get cold in spain in the winter !!!!!!!!!!
