Has the winter fuel allowance stopped for newer pensioners now?

The benefits system is way too complicated for me
WFP are for everyone over 66.

Cold weather payments trigger when the temperature is zero or lower for 7 consecutive days, but you need to be on a qualifying benefit, such as Pension Credit to get that.

Born between 26 September 1942 and 25 September 1956Born on or before 25 September 1942

Try to apply and this stops you if born after 1956 or is that because of state pension age?

I'm shit with benefits mate

That’s the Winter Fuel Payment that starts at state pension age. It’s not means tested, so once you are of age, you automatically qualify unless you’re in hospital etc.

They should be paid directly into your bank and you get a letter confirming it.
