Royal Mail Stamp offer question

Posts: 2,034 Forumite
The Royal Mail is offering stamps at 2011 prices from 6th November to 24th December for people in receipt of Pension Credit, Employment and Support Allowance or Incapacity Benefit. Is there anyone on here who works for the Royal Mail who can tell me if they mean Pension Guarantee Credit or Pensions Savings credit. I have emailed them but it takes 3 days to get a reply.
Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

From the direct.gov website "Pension Credit is an income related benefit for pensioners living in Great Britain. It is made up of two different parts, Guarantee Credit and Savings Credit." So, looking at the Royal Mail offer "Customers who are receiving Pension Credit, Employment and Support Allowance or Incapacity Benefit can purchase up to 36 stamps in book format at the Christmas 2011 prices" I take it to mean either/or - it looks like they're not differentiating between the two?0

Thanks Booter. The offer doesn't start until 6th November and hopefully I'll I get confirmation from the Royal Mail in a few days time. People who just claim the pension savings credit are usually excluded from any this kind of offer so it will be great if we're included for once.
I'll come back and post the Royal Mail reply when I get it. It could also be helpful for those who don't want to post all over Twitter.Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:0 -

What a joke...Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

Why a joke? Isn't it better than nothing?0
