Just checked my postcode and is now showing 3 triggers, I checked it earlier today when I rang IS and it was only showing 2 then.

So now chasing 3 triggers.

thats because he got a winter fuel payment, different to cold weather payments.

I'm quite aware of that. Him being disabled and getting on, and never having claimed benefits in his life until now, he's not sure if he should be getting things.

Who do you think made sure he got all his entitlements:rolleyes:

I've just seen A Smug Gordon Brown on TV - saying Pensioners should be turning their heating Up, not down!

He mentioned the 25 pounds cold weather payments........

BUT no mention of the balls up and continuing delays in paying them!!

No acknowledgment that Pensioners on Pre-Pay Meters can't get out to the Post Office/Bank to collect the payments, Or get to the Shops to 'top up' their payment keys!!

The mans Not got a clue! All tucked up nice n cosy at Number 10......his heating paid for by the Taxpayers!!

As are most pensioners since they get £250 at the start of the winter from the Government;)

How do I find out my local Met station? Googled it but comes up with one right near the coast. Then another inland near Glasgow. Something tells me the one at the coast they aint going use.
Glasgow , well thats good 40 miles from here(roughly).

My area..... HX's now has 4 payments triggered!

A couple of hours ago it said 3.

I've received 2 so far, (1 last week and 1 this week) so i'm not complaining, personally.......But it does seem ridiculous/BAD that some people still havn't received a single payment!
