ALCESTER'S elderly may be feeling the chill and missing out on £200 this winter, says Stratford District councillor Susan Juned.
Mrs Juned said while some pensioners receive cash automatically with their state pension, others may not be aware they are entitled to fuel payments to help them cope with the extra cost of heating.
She added men aged 60-64 who are still working and have not previously received help with fuel bills will not get the cash unless they claim it by March 30.
