It has bugged us for a number of years that we have not been entitled to the winter fuel allowance. The European Court of Justice has made a new ruling which allows us to receive it. I have attached a link to the article in the Connexion newspaper. It does not give the address we need to apply to which would have been useful. Just looked it up and included another link.
