Well, the heating system is def beggered and a part has been order so we could be without heat for around 3 days. Luckily, he discovered we have an immersion heater (news to me!) and so at the flick of a switch, I now have hot water!

Have borrowed an oil filled electric radiator from my parents so hopefully it won't be quite as chilly tonight as it has been earlier on today when my hands felts like they were in a block of ice.

just wandering if anyone in the LD1 postcode or in mid wales area has recieved a cwp yet? there have been 4 triggers but i havent recieved any yet, last year we should have got 3 or 4 payments and never recieved any, even though i had confirmation we are entitled to the cwp and they kept saying it'd be in the bank "next week" this went on for months and i eventually gave up. but really cant afford to miss out this year. so need to start chasing them up if ive alreday missed payments.

Hi there

I would give your local benefits office a call, we done this and now been resolved.
Good luck.
Oh we also missed out on a few last year as well, think we received one though to what I can remember, good luck with this.;)

So sorry to hear this, we have also been in the same situation with the mortgage interest help, been waiting since about June last year, and 3 times they have mis laid the forms our lender have completed.

Fingers crossed for you. x

Hope they sort it out for you very soon, I cant believed they can make such a mess of something that should be quite simple. Good luck with it all x
