Interesting, how do you apply for them?The winter fuel allowance is not, at present, means tested, so if you are state pension age, you should get it. Same as the not to be missed £10 Christmas bonus, thanks to prudent Gordon (Brown).
ETA - I've just checked online and it's available to anyone born on or before 5th October 1954.
I was born on the 5th of November.
