answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>A person is entitled to a Winter Fuel Payment based on their circumstances in the week beginning on the third Monday in September (known as the qualifying week). This ensures that entitlement relies, among other things, on their age during that week, and it means that most people receive their payment before Christmas. If the qualifying week were moved to the start of the financial year, then those reaching the age of 80 after that week would not receive the higher rate of £300 until the winter after their 81st birthday.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 04/12/2017 14:48:08 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
