Tried posting back to you earlier and my puter frozen, and then I forgot........:o, but yes your right about the link you had in your siggie, they removed it..........:eek:

I noticed that too. Do the mods remove it? That's a shame when it's so helpful for others.

It was a very useful link.

Don't really know to be honest why they removed it........

I wonder if anyone can advise me at all. I received two cold weather payments today. havent received a letter stating for what period.

I am on I/S and have a child under 5.

I also have another who receive CTC for with disability premium for.

I am confused if the payments i have received are for having the child under 5. My postcode has had 3 triggers so far.

I dont know if eligible for other child who has disabilities. Im not trying to be greedy. Just totally unclear on who it was paid for.

wow heres a new one, british gas has sent me a cheque for £20 as a little extra help towards my winter bill how cool is that, i must point out that im on the essentials tariff, most surprised theyve done that they never have before.

They are still reeling from the bad PR and getting a slap for ripping off us prepayment meter users I think. I got some spurious cheques a while back, and when I went to cash them at the PO the clerk said "the computer screen is instructing me to tell you that British Gas thank you for being such a good customer" LOL !!

You receive one £25 payment for every trigger per household and not per person or benefit. You should receive the 3rd payment soon.

But why remove it? It was beneficial to a lot of people!

I suspect they can't keep on top of it due to beauracracy and worries about litigation
