I was told it was £100 and live alone. Clawed back if you earn more than £35k.
I travel most of the winter, it amazes me how many ex pat Brits I meet, who have council houses which I know they rent, who receive the full allowance and never file a tax return. Also get the annual pension increment although they live abroad in countries where it shouldn't be increased. HMRC think they are UK residents.
