  • Closing date is 31st December and it may well be too late with some providers as they have now been inundated with applications.

    Last year British Gas asked for a letter from the DWP saying I was on benefit between two dates. DWP said they could not give such a letter just a general letter saying I got the benefit.

    Result. Lost out :mad:

    British Gas told me recently that only 10% will be asked for this letter, fingers crossed am not within the 10%. As alot of folk missed out last year.

    I e-mailed my MP last year regarding it and never got back. Why o why can the DWP not supply the required letter?

    Dont apologise, the more posts the better it seems so many people miss out on this by not applying in time.

    Actually you can give them a copy of your original award notice and that ought to surfice - or the latest rate increase one that is issued in April or there abouts. Failing that a proof of entitlement letter that is valid for a month - that you get when getting free NHS scripts would do too.
