https://www.gov.uk/winter-fuel-payment/eligibilityWhen you will not be eligible
You will not be eligible if you:
...
need permission to enter the UK and your granted leave says that you cannot claim public funds
...
You have closed your sticky Amber and unfortunetly the DWP have messed up and are sending out letters telling people they quailify for the WFP when they do not: the forums are full of this.
From those receiving the DWP letter saying they quaifly for the Winter Fuel payment, some reporting that that person does not have an electric account and they do not have a partner, when one of the requirements is that they or their partner must have an electric account. Others reporting they got the DWP letter when they are not on any benefits, which won't get picked up by the electric company.
If you get the Winter Fuel Payment letter from the DWP, make sure you are allowed to take the WFP.

I was asking about Warm Home Discount.
Agree. Dilemma I have is the Warm Home Discount is being given to me but the discount will be given on my Wifes bill who has NRPF.You are British, your spouse isn't Yes! You as a British citizen can claim public funds, your spouse can't.
Except there's another question here, I see no reason why you a Brit can't claim any monies, public fund or not!
It's your entitlement.
Just received a letter through the post addressed to me the British citizen that I will be getting 150 pounds ‘Warm Home Discount’ off the Electric/Gas bill.alphagear wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 3:08 pmAgree.
