I know it’s very early days but has any pensioners on here received theirs yet?

I m expecting my £500 very soon. My friend has just received her £324 cost of living help today .
The £500 is made up of £200 winter fuel payment plus £300 cost of living grant

Last week we had a letter advising us that we would be receiving the winter fuel allowance between November and January.  Not received as yet.  Last year it arrived in November.

Both my wife and myself had our letters a couple of weeks ago but the largesse hasn't appeared yet.

However , I guess we can all expect to pay a fair bit of it back again when the autumn statement comes out.

IMO it won't really help all that much in the long term as it just helps fuel inflation which will probably last a lot longer because of it

The Winter Fuel Payment (including the PCLP) is  paid at any time during November and December.

The earliest I've ever received mine is 17th November, latest 11th December. Doesn't seem to a fixed date.
