Winter fuel money
- Steve wilson (21st Nov 2025 - 17:47:34)
I think it's brilliant my friend doesn't need the £200 paid to retired people so donated the money to Liphook food bank they then get gift aid so ended up with £250 😊 hope there are more people that are able to do the same.

Sounds wonderful and all due respect to your friend.
In my case DWP have recently sent me £200 but, as I understand it, they will decide if I am entitled to it when I submit my next self assessment tax return............ ie some time after receiving it!!
If they decide I'm not entitled, it will be reclaimed through my tax liability next time around.
I'm currently wondering if I should bill DWP and HMRC £200 for doing the rest of their job I wasn't already doing before this happened. If so, would I be able to claim tax relief as charity giving?
Advice please?
