  • Just checked the BT60 postcode and it said no payment due. Funny that - when I was going to work at 9.30 last Wednesday it was -10 and -5 going home at 5 o'clock. Maybe I should take the car back to the garage:(
  • I don't think any NI postcodes work in that site. I'd ignore it and go by the info on the DSD news release.

    Well no mention of BT6 at all in DSD newsline or the govdirect thing, yet I got a payment today into my account.

    My water is off, told it is service pipe outside so NIHE and NIW told me to keep heating on 24/7 for the time being. So extra payment very welcome.

    my sister received payments and only lives 5 mins from me, im on the same benefits and havent received a penny, wasnt even aware of it until she told me she was getting extra money automatically - heres me with severe asthma, cutting the food bill short and only putting the heating on for 2 hours a day, and ive know ended up with a chest infection cos of it!
