Winter Fuel Payments restricted to PC claimants
Qualifying benefits include an award of child tax credit or working tax credit of not less than £26 in respect of the tax year 2024-25. First we’ve heard about that.
Paul,
Great spot - can’t see any guidance etc yet?
Cheers
Glad to see it in the Regs but still not mentioned on gov.uk!
Our worry is that CTC claimants see that and think the only way to get WFP is to claim PC - and so claim PC before getting a TCCN. They could end up missing out on Transitional Protection. Although admittedly it probably won’t affect too many people.
