Winter Fuel Payment madness

This is just a comment rather than a question.
The qualifying period for Winter Fuel Payment was 16th to 23rd September. My father died on 22nd September but because he was alive for part of that week he is entitled to receive Winter Fuel Payment and the money has now been paid into the executors account!

Just the way the system works. If his State Pension had been paid in a similar way they would be trying to get that back.0

If you consider it madness, so much you have to comment, then give it back.I enjoy flower arranging, kittens, devil worship, the study of serial killers and their methods and road kill jigsaws.0 -
gosh, someones a bit grumpy
I was just pointing out that there must be an large number of people who are alive for the qualifying period but who have died before they need to put on the heating!0 -

How do you suggest that it should work then?
Be alive during a set week in the Autumn and still alive by the time the temperature in your area drops to a set level? A nightmare to adminstrate!0 -
I`m giving up on this forum. Why does everyone have to be so abrasive? I belong to several others where the members are always friendly and keen to help but whenever I have posted here I am greeted by the opposite reaction.
Don`t bother to reply - I`ve had enough and won`t be signing on again.0 -
