state pension

I have checked on imformation about defering state pension, I am due to receive it at 62 but as I will continue to work full time tax wise it would seem better to not claim until I retire as my total income will be below the tax threshold.
my question is will I still be entitled to the heating payment...providing its still being paid in 2 years time!
I have found advice given on here to be very useful and factual and thank you for that

  • I think you will be entitled but it will not happen automatically as you are not receiving your Pension. You will have to apply for it.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
