If you are over 60 years of age and resident in the UK during a qualifying week in the month of September then you may be entitled to at
the very least the minimum winter fuel payment of £100. If you receive certain state benefits then you will probably, if entitled, receive the
winter fuel payment automatically prior to the Christmas of the qualifying year. But if you do not receive any state benefits you may have to
make your claim directly, as the Department for Work and Pensions may lapse in paying your your entitilement without a claim.
Even if you live abroad you may still be able to make a claim. If you had been entitled to this payment in the past, and did not receive it,
you may still be able to claim it in retrospect .

You can obtain a copy of "Your Guide to Winter Fuel Payments" from most local Libraries or by telephoning 0845 6065065.
