Possibly, yes. The government also makes Winter Fuel Payments available to some residents of the EEA and Switzerland if you can demonstrate that you have a genuine link to the UK. Examples of such a link may include having lived or worked in the UK, or spending a lot of time with family in the UK.
Please note, however, that there are some countries within the EEA whose winter temperatures exceed those of even the warmest regions in the UK. Residents of the following countries are not eligible to apply:
Spain
Greece
France
Cyprus
Malta
Portugal
Gibraltar
