62speedtwin showcase imageThe Triumph "bathtub" design as they were known. Petri cameras were not well known in the UK. I think they were coming to an end when I started selling cameras in the 1970's, as far as I can remember.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?If they paid for it with their National Insurance contributions then I hope they get it. If there is no pay out then refund part of their NI payments.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?No one pays with a metre. Many people do pay with a meter.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?What about those who have a payment meter, instead of those who measure distance by the metre ?ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?When I phoned they were aware of the payment due date but are not aware that it was not sent. For this reason you should phone in case it has not been sent. We had 3 "due dates" which all failed and they were not aware of this. If people do not want the payment then there is no point coming here and telling those who are waiting !!!ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Why do you assume that people on this site are greedy ? It implied that you were complaining about people on the site who are waiting for payments. Is it your place to decide who is "needy" ? In reality no one should need these payments, just stop the greed from the private sector and make the bills affordable. Payments help pensioners but what about working people on low wages who are being screwed over ?ViewDate:
1st Jan 2021 Lumixcam commented on:
Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?I do not grasp where the idea is coming from that people on here who are asking about payments do not really need it. That is one huge assumption to make and totally devoid of facts.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Do the electric / gas company real need to charge so much ? Do their shareholders really need their bonus ? If you are a rich Tory boy then fine but many people are not.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?When you phone press the option for "make a claim". They will answer and deal with missing payments but you may wait for nearly an hour before they speak.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?5 phone calls to the DWP. 3 hours on the phone. 4 promised payment dates. 1 apology from a DWP manager. 1 unusual situation, they blame the new computer and not the virus. How refreshing. Today the missing payment for my wife arrived ! Proof indeed that hard work can produce results. Keep at it, do not let the ........ grind you down !ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Payment not arrived for my wife. 4 phone calls to DWP. 2.5 hours holding the phone to get an answer. 3 promised payment dates. Still no payment. No answer to emails. Do not waste time phoning, they are liars and will say anything to get rid of you. We now accept there will be no payment.ViewDate:
24th Dec 2020 Lumixcam commented on:
Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Phone calls can involve waiting between 20 to 50 minutes to be answered. Perhaps it will be easier later on as more payments will have been made, live in hope !ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Today made my total count of phone calls to the DWP to 4 ! My payment did arrive but the payment that should have been sent to my wife on 10 Dec has still not arrived. Reason given was that it should have been sent on 10 Dec but for "some reason" it was not sent, they now say it will be sent on 30 Dec. I was given the same reason when mine was late, the "should be" date did not happen for "some reason" !! Does some dozy office junior have his / her finger on the computer button that launches the nukes, please no, just let them sort out the virus / Brexit / M20 truck park .ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Our first letter had a major error. My payment has now arrived but my wife is still waiting. There seems to have been a lot of delays this year. The DWP did say to contact them if no payment was received by 23 Dec 2020 but that is now changed to 13 Jan 2021.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?I was told that my payment would be sent tomorrow, then I should wait a few days to receive it, but it arrived today !! The payment for my wife was sent on 10 Dec (as they said on the phone) but it has still not arrived.ViewDate:
18th Dec 2020 Lumixcam commented on:
Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Letter states I should contact them if it is not paid by 13 January 2021. The web site also has this extended date so they must be aware of problems. Now we have to wait for payment, suffer what is coming with Brexit, put up with the virus and survive the annual horror of Xmas.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?CaroleAH. Have just looked at your profile and see that you are interested in photography, the same as me. Just to add to your confusion it is white balance and not white noise !!!! If you ever have any questions about photography I would be very willing to help.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?CaroleAH. You are lucky. I had a letter today, following an error, and payment could take up to 13/01/21.ViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?This morning a great honour was bestowed upon me. With great pride I can announce that I was chosen to receive a letter stating that a payment will be sent to me. No money yet and no letter for my wife but I am still overcome with emotion to have been sent a letter. It is not a knighthood or elevation to the peerage but I still feel wonderful to have been sent a letter at last.ViewDate:
17th Dec 2020 Lumixcam commented on:
Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?My wife had a letter saying she would be sent £200 as she is living alone when we usually have £100 each ! I phoned and they found the problem and agreed to amend the details. No money arrived. Phoned again and they said mine was sent on 26 Nov, when I said it had not been received they checked and said that it had not been sent but they did not know why. Promised mine would be sent on 22/12/20. Told that my wife's payment was sent on 10/12/20, so where is it ? That is three problems so far. First problem was "computer error" Now we wait for "its the virus" then "Brexit problem" followed by "Trump's fault" What chance now of ever seeing this money ?ViewDate:
17th Dec 2020 Lumixcam commented on:
Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?That is not relevant to people in Britain who do need it. We are still waiting for payment after two errors were made this year. The DWP need to provide a better service than this.ViewDate:
14th Dec 2020 Lumixcam commented on:
Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Many of us are having delays in payment. My next door neighbour is a few weeks behind but the payment arrived today. Our payment has not arrived but we did report an error in the letter so this may have caused another delay. No doubt they will have a stock excuse : new computer - short staff - virus - Brexit - Trump. Take your pick !ViewDate:

Winter fuel allowance - have you received yours?In the past there were no winter fuel payments. In the past the suppliers were not private firms. Could there be a connection ? !!!!!!!ViewDate:
