Here's one and there's probably more.

Genuine question - is it possible to opt out? While £400 nice to have for sure, there are other people that definitely need it more than us. Seems odd that it isn’t means tested?

DLA up to age 16 until they get the kinks out of PIP and are therefore able to deny more people what they should get. :td:

I fail to qualify for the Welsh Arsembly £500 payment for Carers by ONE MONTH.

I miss out on the Pensioner Winter Fuel Payment (and therefore the Pensioner Cost of Living Payment) by 5 months.

In reality I should be eligible for PIP but I just can not cope with the stress of the assessment so I do not claim. I am already stressed about my ESA one that I have not even heard about yet but knowing chances are I will need one in the next 2 years causes me anxiety already.

People have been posting about asking for aid from the discretionary funds and being flatly refused.

The payments are means tested already, including any benefits, pensions, state pension, savings, etc.

With these direct payments from Mr Sunak, that may get worse as they could be classed as "income".

The entire "household income" is counted, even that of non-dependants living with you.

Sunak has been clear that the direct payments will not be classed as income.

In your profile you say you are 66 so according to THIS you must qualify for winter fuel payments. ;)

The information on the .gov site is for Winter 21-22. :)

Well, I must be flattered as that suggests Sunak's recent address is intended for me and me alone! :D

I was given that age uk link by a neighbour who works for for them, and it said "September 1955" when I looked last week!

I've just checked https://www.gov.uk/winter-fuel-payme...l%20Payment%27. and it says just that. :confused:

Ah I get it now, they haven't updated the info since the claim date for 21-22 had passed. And it looks like I'll get it automatically with no application required.

I think the 1955 date is based on last Septembers calculations not this coming Sept. it's all a bit foggy.

I officially become a pensioner in june even though i retired in 2017
