It tells you here that Pre payment customers are entitled to the rebate http://www.centrica.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=107&newsID=912

and here is a list of qualifying benefits:

-Disability living allowance
-Pension Credit
-Attendance allowance
-War disablement pension which includes either a mobility supplement or constant attendance allowance
-Disablement pension which includes constant attendance allowance
-Child tax credit where the relevant income is £14,600 or less
-Working tax credit where the relevant income is £14,600 or less
-Council tax benefit
-Housing benefit
-Income-based job seekers allowance
-Income support

-Severe Disability allowance


I can't understand why IB isn't on the list

Well maybe the powers that be have been watching BBC's 'On the Fiddle' a bit too much and decided otherwise........

Sorry if this has already been said, but not going to trawl through, but just phoned BG to register for 06/07 winter rebate and because i registered for last years there is no need to register for this years as it will be done automatically

result{re my post 24/2/06].I rang british gas to claim the £30 for this winter,and they have sent me a lettter today saying they are giving me the £60 rebate even though I only claimed on 23rd feb

Hiya what should I do, as soon as I ready the post I rang BG on behalf of my mum ( well before the 31st Dec) but it kept going to answer phone kept leaving messages but no reply. After 12 or so messages they rang back in the New year so my mum only got the £30 but I was trying endlessly before the cut off point for £60.

Any suggestions

Where do I stand? Although the claim for DLA went in 4 months ago - we only got confirmation through in Feb 06. I wasnt aware that we would get it...but now we have missed the cut off date for any BG rebate.

Any suggestions?

Sorry to drag up an old thread but has anyone who has got a pre-payment meter got their cheque/s yet?

I ask becuase i got a letter in Feb i think it was saying i was eligable and would receive the cheque/s before May but haven't had anything yet.

i recieved the first cheque for £30 but not the second, beggining to think it was a bit of a con.
