  • hi everyone I called anglian water after hearing of discounts offered to people in certain situations financially or medically
    filled in a form and they said I was not intitled to anything on these terms but being a 'LOW USER ' they changed our tarriff :T
    We pay £25 a month and are on a meter with 2 kids ,regular baths,dishwasher and washing machine
    we do the toilet thing except when guests are here and don't run the tap when brushing teeth:o
    give them a call and try your luck been on this for 2 years now
  • :T Thames Water do have this tarrif (vunerable household) it is for low income and medical ailments eg eczama and conditions where water is used more eg incontinence.They cap a water metre bill at about £271.

    My son is on DLA
    My doctors surgery was very intersted in it.

    really peed off as our water is 843.99 per year (84.40) per month:eek:

    don't know if we'll be helped as we get child tax credit not the working tax credit...will this make a difference?:confused:

    i have 4 children, not on a meter and with south west water, i s'pose i'd best give them an e mail to see if owt can be done
