my pals wife got 200 pounds fuel allowance this year
he got 100 pounds
they thought it. was 100 pounds each
the wife was 80 yrs old on 01/11/2014

Isn't the maximum you can get £300 per household...if one of you is over 80? Only £200 if both under 80. It's per household....not per person. So, they used to get £100 each...now it's £100 plus £200 (because she's 80+)

No age limit for this allowance its a set rate of £200 for everyone who draws a pension it was £250 then put down to £200 it doesn't go far with
high bills

[New Judge]

Is your pal over 80? If not, according to the guidance on the government website they should only get £200 between them. To qualify for the higher payment (£300) at least one of them must be aged 80 or over during the "qualifying week". The qualifying week for 2014 was 15-21 September.

Just a money Briquetto,

delicious allowances from the Tories,
steamy gases and kero dream,
Give me a Briquetto,
from the Tories.
