Yes I am sorry Shirley and SuffolkVera I was not very clear, was I?

I was looking at my own age group, and not at the others.

Have just looked at the government site and it says you will get the wfp if you were born before 26th September 1956.

So yes am getting £600 but it’s not arrived yet

My OH was born before 1942 and has got it. I am sure you are eligible Shirley.

Ours usually arrives a couple of weeks apart but this year I got mine on 24th, OH on 25th. Obviously nothing to do with age as he is nearly 5 years older than me. As has been said, it comes when it comes.

Well the GOV website is not concise.

You need to be born between 1942 and 1956.

It will usually be paid automatically in Novermber or December.

If you have not received it by 13th January 2023, get in touch.

So, it will come, when it comes.

It's not alphabetical - per SuffolkVera and MotownGal's posts above.

My surname begins with A, and mine hasn't arrived yet
It must be by age or NI number.


ADDED:
Received it on 28 November.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Made me check to see if I have got mine

Nope not yet

Maybe it’s done surname alphabetically so as a T I,m well down the list :-(

Perhaps it is age which would account for SuffolkVera and her OH getting payments at different times.....unless they are the same age which would throw that theory out of the window :-)

At least you will know if I have had mine they must be on the way (ish). Wonder if it is done by age. Oldest first? Or by NI numbers. Who knows? One of life's mysteries.

Don't think it's done alphabetically as OH's and mine never come at the same time. I think they pull the names out of a hat ;-)

I wonder if it is done nationally or locally hope you get it soon then
