The Famous Annual Soho bet

[LGFOX]

Looked like it was back on when Rachel Reeves announced that OAP’s would be now getting the winter fuel allowance.
But she’s now scuppered it by declaring anyone who with an annual income of above £35k won’t get it. So near and yet so far!!

 

[glynnak]

is that pretax or in your pocket?

 

[Popside]

Do People really get 35k a year ? Thought that was just famous people and a former mate of mine who told me what K meant. BIG HEAD HE WERE/is I ain’t ever been near that but I do own some thick jumpers from when Cameron was in so kept walm or warm ! , JUST !

I can think of plenty of smart-arse ripostes on here but I don't want to be insensitive to less fortunate pensioners who have to struggle on a State pension and not much more.

Wish my arse was smart instead of just blowing gas

The way I understand all Pensioners will be paid it but then those over 35k will have it clawed back through taxation. In Soho’s case the race will be on to see who grabs it first the Taxman or William Hill et al!

 

[What?]

Giving it to William Hill is akin to a charitable donation and should be tax deductible

You can opt out of receiving it if you know its going to be clawed back anyway. Same as it is with child allowance benefit..

If it arrives soon enough thats my day out at Sandown races 1st week in December sorted!

What ever the limit, lot's of pensioner's living abroad no longer qualify for any extra payment anyway, even though the price of sunblock is getting so expensive now.
