    I reckon it's cos the vouchers are worth more, they have cut the length of time to try get the money back

    i used to get the tokens as hubby asnt working but then he got a 16hr job to fit in round college, tokens stopped. He hasnt worked for 5 weeks now tx credits office are aware of this and said milk tokens would be sent out no need to apply. Milk token people seem to think i have to reaply so i rang CTC people back and they said no wait and you will get them! :mad:!!!!!

    I didn't realise this scheme was coming in to play so soon... it is a good idea. Hopefully now it is not just for milk it may be more of an incentive to carry on/start breastfeeding, as you can use for fruit and vegetables.
    Although from reading the thread it seems complicated who is eligible...
