    That’s fantastic news about the ESA. I didn’t get the winter fuel allowance with mine though…..apparently there are 2 kinds of ESA…..one gets the fuel payments the other didn’t. Can’t remember what they were called. Hopefully you’ll get yours 🤞

    Mr SA is in the support group but doesn’t get the winter fuel payment. The other group is based on household income so anyone on that gets it. Hopefully you’ll be on the income one 🤞

    For anyone about to get a senior railcard, it's cheaper per year to get a two-year version, or at least it was last year. However, it's obviously more to pay up front.
