They are running about a week or so later this year,over the last few years I have had mine by now but am still waiting for the letter and the money to go into the bank

Ours is the first one this year. My husband applied several months ago, and it was all set up, but he hasn't received a letter yet.

Its unlikely anyone born on or before 5 January 1953 managed to get a feebie they have not already paid for many thousands of time over in the last 60-80 years or so. I've no idea what % of refuseniks get the allowance but as its almost all of the above age group and designated by legislation as fuel poor [pension credit] it will be very very few. Have a nice xmas chanz4. Anyone reading this wanting to spend your WFA on your grandkids or extra food next month feel free to do so knowing the money that you mis-used from your WFA can be used for fuel later when its bitterly cold.

...don't know about anyone else, but in previous years the money has been in the bank several days/weeks before I get a letter:) -looking back over last 5 years, I've received it between 19th and 26th November.

Still waiting for mine and is usually in the bank by now. I normally put this payment to one side and this pays for the coal for the winter. Unlike some who say it pays towards the grand children presents. Also looking forward to my £10 Christmas bonus and this will go towards my charity.

You will soon know when it`s being paid by the 25% off 6 bottles of wine sales in the supermarkets.
