    ....Plus those on pension credit, income support or jobseekers' get £25 per 7 days the temp's below 0°C.

    They don't. They have to be also disabled or have a child.

    people on pension credit get cold weather payments of £25 per week whether or not they are disabled
  • Middy, I think you'll find that this is your experience and that I could say that 'Many people' DO use the WFA for their fuel bills (as margaretclare says - it goes into the expenses 'pot'). And 'many people' I know do pay by DD.

    Can you give some more verifiable statistics than 'Many'?

    It was me who said that this time, although margaretclare has said it in the past!
