You will continue to get the Winter Fuel payment without the need to claim it
The Pension Service - Winter Fuel Payments - Living abroad
Who can receive a Winter Fuel Payment outside the UK?
If you qualified for a Winter Fuel Payment in the UK, you may be able to continue to receive your Winter Fuel Payment if you move to another European Economic Area (EEA) country or to Switzerland. There are some exceptions to this which are set out below.
The qualifying week this year is the 15 to 21 September 2008. Payments are normally made from November onwards over a period of several weeks. Winter Fuel Payments are usually paid automatically to people receiving a UK state pension. If you do not receive a UK state pension you will usually need to fill in a claim form for the first year you claim a Winter Fuel Payment outside the UK. If your circumstances change again, you should notify us.
