Extra At 80 Years

[bluebird34]

Does anyone know if you still get extra state pension at 80 (I think it was something ridiculous like 25p) because I haven't received anything and i actually hope they have stopped it because it must cost more to administer than to pay out. I did post this a while ago but forgot to look for the answer and the reminder link didnt work.

Seems it still exists but not for much longer - if this PDF has not been rewritten.

At 80 your Winter Fuel Payment increases by £100.

[BlackadderV]

If the £10 Xmas bonus had kept pace with the rate of inflation since it was first introduced it would be worth £124 today. On the other hand the £200 winter fuel allowance did not exist back then so I suppose in real terms we are better off.

MY PALS WIFE OVER 80 GOT 200POUNDS FUEL MONEY
IS THAT CORRECT

[Mamyalynne]

Yes

[ubasses]

It would be if he was under 80 and received £100. If he is over 80 they should get £150 each

[sunny-dave]

Yes - if he got £100 she should get £200.

If she lived on her own it would be £300.

If they are both over 80 it is £150 each.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, if she lives alone and was over Aged 80 or over on or before 21 September,it should be £300
