Mr. Rooker

Around 1.3 million people have made successful claims for Winter Fuel Payments in respect of winter 2000 out of a possible 1.5 million people that might have been eligible. We have received 252 claims since the deadline.

There are no immediate intentions to impose deadlines on claims for payments for past winters.
