I wonder what situation the "Nil**" entry in the table refers to then?

Err... what it says:

"You qualify and live with your partner or civil partner and they get
one of the benefits listed*"

and that's because:

"** Your partner getting the benefit will get the Winter Fuel Payment on
your behalf"

That is, in those circs. it is exceptionally *not* split equally between
the 2 people but all paid to the one.

And I was curious how they picked *which* one in that case.


IIRC the one who made the (joint) claim for the benefits. (But I could
well be not-C.)
