Winter fuel payment later each year

[tomatoada]

My payment has not arrived yet.  Last year I had it the 2nd week of Nov.  and in previous years the first week.   I rang the department to be told they are "sent out at random". 
How can I buy my seed potatoes!

Burning seed potatoes to keep you warm sounds rather expensive ;D ;D
