How much is the Winter Fuel allowance for the over 60`s and when is it usually paid ?
£200 per household, so if you live on your own or with a partner under 60, you get the full sum; if you live with a partner, who also qualifies, then you only get £100 - partner gets the other £100. Over 80 and you get £300.
If you get a pension, it will be paid automatically, but if you are male and under 65, it is worth making contact with the department.
It is usually paid with pensions around the beginning of December.
