I think I've got it wrong, thought it was an EU thing.


Edit. Lots of info here.

The £200 payment is per pensioner household not each, always has been here

If there are 2 pensioners in the household they gets a separate letter each informing them that they will get their £100 paid into the bank,


If there is only one pensioner, the amount is £200

Over 80 it's £150 each.

My husband hasn't got his yet. This is his first year. He applied early, and it was all set up for him, but I thought he would have had a letter by now, but by the looks of things, it's happening to several people.

I don't think it necessarily relates to how early/late you apply. Ours has always come late November/early December. Surname towards the end of the alphabet, don't know if that has any bearing.

I think receiving a letter is a bit pointless. The money plops into your account and in some cases, letter comes later!

Last year my £100 arrived before my letter and before my husband 's.
This year he has had the letter. So far that's all.
