We got turned down for that.
My daughter receives PIP but got turned down because her name isn't on the bills.

Your daughter is a qualifying person .....entitled to help .......if she is on PIP ......

As far as I know she doesn't have to be on the bill as the bill payer

Did you check this out ?

It might be worth contacting the CAB

It says that 'Applicants must be responsible for paying the energy bills at the property ' - she isn't.

The letter we received says there is no right of appeal.

There are plenty of people in more need of the payment than us, so we're not too bothered. Would have been nice though.

She doesn’t have to be on the bill, if she’s on PIP and it’s her home , you will qualify

Which local council are you?

If a householder, or their partner who is liable for the fuel costs does not receive any of the qualifying benefits, the householder may be eligible for a payment if they have a qualifying person living with them.

A qualifying person must meet all of the following:

occupy the householder’s home as their primary residence
are a dependent child or another adult living with the householder, or their partner
they receive 1 of the following benefits:
Attendance Allowance
Disability Living Allowance
Personal Independence Payment
Armed Forces Independence Payment
Constant Attendance Allowance
War Pension Mobility Supplement
Applicants must also be responsible for paying the energy bills for the property.

It says that your daughter can be an applicant and her PIP award certainly qualifies her

Yes but you ARE responsible for paying the bill ......your daughter has a health condition which is why she's on PIP .......so that enables YOU to be the applicant for the fuel payment

Get on to the CAB or Riverside Advice Centre in Cardiff

I’d put another online claim in or call which ever local authority you are with and say you’re not appealing , you pointing out an assessment mistake and want it corrected, no need to go to CAB

Cheers.
It does seem odd that the scheme excludes some people who are on a qualifying benefit, but there we go.
I think they may have cottoned on to the fact that I like Alex Scotts punditry and turned us down for that reason.

Just sent you a PM. If you're in Cardiff, I may be able to help.

Re: O/T winter fuel allowance

I'm not in Cardiff,however expecting the same negative response.. My partner is on low rate mobility and doing a uni degree.
It's a bit of a con. Only one person in a household needs to be on a bill as said. I told the council my partner pays half the bills. I haven't had a reply yet.
She paid 35 years national insurance stamps, but got turned down for sick pay as the DWP took my income in to account.

Did she claim the right benefit.?

Sounds like she may have claimed a means tested benefit.
