No we haven't, I am sure we have always had ours earlier than this.

No. Like AnnCardiff, we usually get ours nearer the end of the month.

A friend has had notification of his. Apparently it will be in his account at the end of next week. :-D

Sounds a bit like the deal is contracted out to (the cheapest) private company :-0
- which of course, could be a different one each year :-(

Glad you asked as I thought I may have missed it.

Checking back, last year OH's came in on the 19 Nov - nothing yet.

Heating bills are due to rise so fingers crossed it's not too long.

'In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago'.

just be thankful that you DO get a winter fuel allowance ................ you live in one of the very few countries, if not the only one, where pensioners do get such an allowance.

Millions live in much colder places and get no help at all.

Pensioners in Oz get a percentage (can't remember how much) off their power bills, all year round.
