Winter fuel allowance
I live in USA and am now receiving my UK pension sent to my UK bank account. Am I entitled to a winter fuel allowance? If so how much is it, and where is the form?

Thanks.
My brother lives in Spain and gets it. Is it only for EU countries?

Samian; Those living in Spain DID get it but that has now stopped.

Depending on your age and income you might qualify for a fuel subsidy from your state.

Fuel assistance is available to MA residents if they have less than 60% of the median income....it's available to all legal residents, so Green Card holders and other legal immigrants qualify. You have to show proof of income for the lest 3 months and provide a copy of your most recent tax return. You can get a 25% reduction in gas and electricity charges and also lump sums to help pay the bills.
