As far as I understand your husband will be entitled to the winter fuel allownace, i'm just not sure how and when. I would contact your local benefits agency for further advice.

Look here for entitlement conditions, it would seem he qualifies.

Winter Fuel Payments for over 60's

My husband was 60 in July and works full time. I am 58 and also work. Are we eligible for a Winter Fuel Payment or do we have to be on some sort of benefits?
