    £25 not £30

    you're right, i stand corrected. it was £30 last year and appears to have been decreased to £25. i guess that's probably due to decreasing gas prices ;)

    there is the cold weather payments of £30 when the temperature is below 0'C on 7 consecutive days. i'm hoping for a nice cold winter to get some of these!

    dave, you have been corrected 3 times on this thread for duff information.

    Please stop "hoping" for cold weather below 0'C as it really knocks certain people for six.

    I think the additional deaths of the elderly alone (because young and disabled don't count) last winter (with their significantly higher fuel allowances, as young and disabled don't get cold) totalled ten thousand in 2009. :(
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    why do you keep putting "Vader" at the end of every post? it says your name at the side, you dont need to keep repeating it!
