  • yes this has been on before. i seem to remember long discussions on how they verified people were on benefits and thus entitled to the freebie.

    a good freebie. although for the postage costs, may aswell pop to nearest netto for 49p energy saving phillips bulbs.

  • What benefit details would you need to include?
  • What benefit details would you need to include?


    You would only need to tell them which benefit you get. You don't have to send in any paperwork or anything.

    Yeah just send you name and address with what benefit you are on, dont need to send any proof of your benefit and they do the rest.

    Does not cost you a single penny in postage, to send the letter or to recieve the light bulbs.

    If you do recieve any of the benefits, you have nothing to lose except a piece of paper & envelope and a few minutes of your time to write the letter.
