    Hi just thought I would let you know that I have found that through British Gas you can get 2 energy saving products for free if you are claiming benefit. I receive Disability Living Allowance and qualified for this. The products are:

    British Gas Standby Saver - Costs £19.99 to buy off the website

    And

    British Gas Real Time Electricity Monitor - Costs £31.49 to buy off the website.

    These offers can be found buy going to britishgas.co.uk/productoffers then enter the code EF3

    Hope this is of use to some people.

    Hi folks. Thanks OP for a great find.

    I'm not with British Gas, I am not over 70, but I qualified. For the reference number I supplied them with my national insurance number and everything worked fine. Good luck to anyone else who tries this!

    I tried this but it didnt work for me :(
