The Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 1998
These Regulations provide for a winter fuel payment to be paid to persons who fall within the categories prescribed in regulation 2 on any day within the qualifying period (defined in regulation 1(2)) of amounts specified in regulation 3. A decision as to entitlement may be made on the basis of official records held by the Secretary of State but not so as to exclude other evidence on a review of that decision under the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (regulation 4).
