Winter Fuel Payment

Hope this in the right section. As I was not entitled I opted out of the winter fuel payment on the 27th August and received email acknowledgement that my opt out had been successfully submitted. However today £100 winter fuel payment was made to my bank account. Has anybody else had this happen?

I had a printed paper letter from them, as well as the e-mail, in confirmation of the opt out.   Did you?

I've not had a WFP but did get a £10 DWP XB today. My DWP SP is due tomorrow.

Did not receive any letter confirming I had opted out just email confirmation with reference number. Also, I undertand that all those who receive the payment were advised by letter and I did not receive this either.

Did get the £10 DWP XB though

I received mine today, I am just letting them draw it back next year. I could not be bothered to do the extra step to opt out in the end. Sounds like it might not have happened if I had tried.
