Yes today but not the extra 300 top up 

If you;re referring to the nan you mention on this other thread it appears that she did indeed get the extra £300 COL top up - its being paid in a single transaction with the WFA, not as a separate payment

Not necessarily true, my mum who is on passion credit received the COL payment of £300 in early November, she is still waiting on the fuel payment.

That will have been the low income CoL payment, not the pensioner CoL payment which is the reason the Winter Fuel Payment is the same amount this year as last year, £300 higher than normal.

I got mine last week, along with the £10 Christmas bonus. Not sure what I am going to spend the latter on on

Looks to me payment is following a regular pattern. Last year was the first time we were eligible. My wife received hers the first Friday in December (2nd). This year she got it also the first Friday in December (1st). I got mine last year first Wednesday in December (7th) so if pattern holds I'd expect payment this Wednesday (6th). We received Xmas bonuses the same day last year (Dec 15th)

Last year we both got WFP on 1st Dec and I got XB 5th & MrsM 15th.  This year I got WFP 1st and XB today, MrsM hasn't had anything yet so it doesn't seem to follow a pattern.  In 2021 we both got WFP on 18th Nov.

edit:  MrsM's WFP in the bank last night

I got mine mid November but my mother, who’s 96 hasn’t received hers yet.

Our dad always had his around the 3rd week of November but these last two years have been later. He's still waiting for his and hoping it arrives in the next couple of days.

Mine has just gone in so in our case at least it has followed the same pattern as last year. First Friday in December for her, first Wednesday for me.

Our dad got paid this morning which is also pretty much same time as last year.

My husband received his on 28th November but my mum hasn`t had anything yet.  Last year they both receive their payments on the same day.
